- 0.143u4: Changed VSync to 59.940057 Hz.
- 0.143: smf fixed Us vs. Them stalls on its opening diagnostic screen. Added I8049 (4410000 Hz) CPU4.

- 0.129u4: Changed Custom sound to Laserdisc Analog.

- 0.127: Aaron Giles added DISK_REGIONS to all laserdisc drivers. Changed visible area to 704x480.
- 0.126u4: Aaron Giles added proper laserdisc support for MACH 3, Us vs. Them and Cobra Command (MACH 3 hardware). Old laserdisc hacks are now removed. The code now talks to the standard Pioneer PR-8210 interface. Also removed hacky "target list" from the MACH 3 ROMs; this information is now decoded on the fly from the right channel laserdisc audio. Fixed audio rom address to $c000. Added Custom sound. Changed visible area to 720 y 240 and VSync to 59.940052. Added dipswitches 'Sound Test' and 2x 'Unknown'.

- 0.34b3: Added 2nd DAC.
- 0.33b5: Us vs Them is playable, though of course you can't see the backgrounds which were stored on the laser disc. MACH 3 still doesn't work.
- 0.33b4: Fabrice Frances added Us vs. Them (Mylstar 1984).
- 21st May 1998: Kevin Klopp dumped Us vs. Them.
