- 15th May 2011: Mr. Do - Everyone say hi to Mikonos, from Zona Arcade. In just the past week, he's already fixed up Hippodrome from the BYOAC / CAG artwork (scanned and provided). Hopefully, he plans to stick around for awhile.
- 0.136u2: Changed HuC6280 CPU3 clock speed to 1342329 Hz and OKI6295 to 1MHz.
- 0.135u3: f205v added clone Fighting Fantasy (bootleg with 68705), not working.
- 0.133u1: Renamed (ffantasa) to (ffantasya).
- 28th March 2006: f205v dumped Fighting Fantasy (bootleg with 68705).
- 21st April 2006: Roberto Fresca - Fixed 'Difficulty' dipswitches in Hippodrome. Changed "Enemy Power on Continue" options from "ON / OFF" to "3 Dots / 2 Dots" (dots left in the enemy power on continue).
- 24th April 2001: Bryan McPhail fixed a bug which caused clone Fighting Fantasy to freeze.
- 0.37b14: Added clone Fighting Fantasy (Japan revision 2). Renamed (ffantasy) to (ffantasa).
- 24th March 2001: Bryan McPhail added another version of clone Fighting Fantasy to the Dec0 driver.
- 0.37b6: Added new gfx4 roms for Hippodrome (US).
- 4th April 2000: Karl Stenerud fixed a 6280 disassembler bug and he fixed the longstanding bug in C 68k core which caused Hippodrome to crash.
- 0.36RC2: Exchanged ffantasy gfx1 roms ($0, 10000) with hippodrm.
- 13th March 2000: Guru - Dumped Fighting Fantasy (Alt).
- 23rd April 1999: Bryan McPhail updated the Hu6280 core and the Hippodrome and clone Fighting Fantasy drivers. Those two games now work fully.
- 0.35b12: Byan McPhail emulated the protection in Hippodrome, which is now working 100%. Added H6280 (1342325 Hz) CPU3 and changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1.5MHz.

- 0.33b6: Marco Cassili added clone Fighting Fantasy.
- 0.33b5: Games which use the dynamic palette system and no longer need 16-bit modes. The new code is also used by drivers which were previously doing the palette reduction by themselves, but couldn't handle well color cycling and fades: Bad Dudes, Robocop, Hippodrome, Heavy Barrel, Sly Spy and Midnight Resistance [Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.31: Bryan McPhail added Hippodrome (Data East 1989). Preliminary, missing scroll field and the game crashes if you fight 'Serpent' enemy. Maybe only with sound on?.
- 7th March 1998: Dumped Hippodrome (US).
