WIP:

- 0.138u3: Changed 'Open Girl?' dipswitch to 'Nudity'.

- 0.138u2: Luca Elia fixed dipswitches in Dragon World. Added dipswitches 'Open Girl?' and 'Bang Turtle?'.

- 0.133u2: f205v, Olivier Galibert and David Haywood added clone Dragon World (World, V021O). Changed description to 'Dragon World (World, V040O)' and clone 'Dragon World (World, V030O)'. Renamed (chindrag) to (drgnwrldv21j), (drgwrld3) to (drgnwrldv30), (chindrac) to (drgnwrldv10c), (chindrah) to (drgnwrldv11h) and (chugokur) to (drgnwrldv20j). Added dipswitches 'Tiles' and 'Unknown'.

- 25th June 2009: f205v dumped Dragon World (World, V021O). The PCB is perfectly working, empty spaces and empty sockets are clearly intended to be empty.

- 0.127u1: Aaron Giles changed the title of clone 'Zhong Guo Long? (Hong Kong, V011H)' to 'Dong Fang Zhi Zhu (Hong Kong, V011H)'.

- 0.126u5: Luca Elia added clone Zhong Guo Long? (Hong Kong, V011H). Changed description of clone 'Zhong Guo Long (China, V0303)' to 'Zhong Guo Long (China, V010C)'. Luca Elia fixed clone Zhong Guo Long (China, V010C) - Game now playable. Luca Elia fixed crash, when you continue by inserting credit and play in clone (World, V0300). Added 7x 'Unknown' dipswitches.

- 10th August 2008: Luca Elia - I've taken another look at the IGS_Blit driver, thanks to Pierpaolo, who managed to decrypt another Mahjong game, Da Ban Cheng. I took the chance to clean up the driver, and review the protection handling in the non working games there. I managed to promoto the alternate world version of Dragon World along with its Hong Kong and Chinese variants (Zhong Guo Long) to a working status. The issues still open in this driver are now some lingering palette problems and, of course, proper emulation of the IGS0011 and IGS0012 ASIC's.

- 0.126: Added clone Zhong Guo Long (China, V0303).

- 24th September 2007: Mr. Do - Some more instruction cards courtesy of Tormod: Dragon World.

- 25th July 2007: f205v dumped Zhong Guo Long (China, V0303). The PCB is perfectly working, empty spaces and empty sockets are clearly intended to be empty.

- 0.104u3: Removed gfx1 rom ($400000) and fixed rom names.

- 0.103u3: f205v added Dragon World (World, V0300).

- 17th January 2006: f205v dumped Dragon World (World, V0300).

- 0.102u1: Luca Elia added Dragon World (World, V0400). Changed 'Chuugokuryuu (Japan, V021J)' from a parent set to clone 'Zhong Guo Long (Japan, V021J)' and clone 'Chuugokuryuu (Japan, V020J)' to 'Zhong Guo Long (Japan, V020J)'. Fixed dipswitches and added dipswtch 'Bang Turtle?'.

- 0.99u7: Luca Elia fixed the blitter based IGS games - Game now playable. Changed description to 'Chuugokuryuu (Japan, V021J)' and clone '(Japan)' to '(Japan, V020J)'.

Added dipswitches 'Coinage', 'Difficulty', 'Background', 'Demo Sounds', 'Tiles', 'Send Boom?', 'Service Mode?', 'Unused' and 6x 'Unknown'.

- 3rd September 2005: Luca Elia - Graphics have improved in clone Chuugokuryuu (1995). Credits goes to Olivier Galibert for decrypting the games in the first place.

- 0.84u5: David Haywood added clone Chuugokuryuu (Japan).
