WIP:
- 0.141u4: Siftware added clone Speak & Rescue (bootleg).
- 0.133u1: Renamed (stratvob) to (stratvoxb) and (spacech2) to (spacecho2).
- 0.129: Roberto Fresca added clone Space Echo (set 2). Changed description of clone 'Space Echo' to 'Space Echo (set 1)'.
- 14th May 2008: f205v and Corrado Tomaselli dumped Space Echo (set 2), board note: "space echo pt II logic board is entirely different to the space echo part I and care must therefore be taken to ensure correct logic board is fitted in exchange".
- 0.112u4: Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud and Jarek Burczynski added SN76477 noise RNG polynomial. Zsolt Vasvari fixed SN76477 sound in Speak & Rescue and clones.
- 0.110u2: Brian Troha added clone Stratovox (bootleg).
- 12th November 2006: Mr. Do - Stratovox artwork has been "optimized" by Ad_Enuff; much smaller file size (up to 80%) with no loss in quality.
- 26th August 2006: Mr. Do - Added Stratovox bezel from MAME.net and Mean Arena. Some of these decent stuff are so-so; some are REALLY good.
- 18th May 2002: MASH added clone ROMs to Mach Rider, Mega Zone and Stratovox.
- 0.57: Added clone Space Echo (bootleg 1980). Added 'Bonus Life' dipswitch. Removed 2nd coin slot.
- 16th August 2001: InsideOutBoy added Space Echo to the Route 16 driver.
- 0.53: Changed clone 'Speak & Rescue' to parent. Removed Stratovox (bootleg), it was identical to Stratovox (Taito license) with copyright notice removed.
- 0.36RC1: Added SN76477 sound. Samples are no longer needed in Stratovox [Juergen Buchmueller].
- 11th February 2000: Juergen Buchmueller added preliminary SN76477 analog/digital sound chip emulation to Stratovox and clone Speak & Rescue
- 0.35b11: Nicola Salmoria added clone Stratovox (bootleg).
- 0.35b10: Changed visible area to 256x256.
- 0.34b1: Al Kossow added clone Speak & Rescue (Sun Electronics 1980). Added proms ($0, 100 - top and bottom bitmap), the upper 128 bytes are 0's, used by the hardware to blank the display.
- 0.31: Darren Olafson added Stratovox (Taito 1980). Note: Route 16 and Stratovox use identical hardware with the following exceptions: Stratovox has a DAC for voice and a SN76477 for the player explosion and bonus ship sound effects.
