- 26th July 2008: Mr. Do - Funny story. Tormod sent me a BUNCH of instruction cards a long time ago. You've probably been seeing them added in every so often. Well, around July of last year, I had completed a whole bunch of them, but then had a computer crash, and they ended up on the "spare" hard drive by mistake. I found them again going through a cleanup. So thanks to Tormod, this week we have Knights of Valour 2.
- 0.111u6: MooglyGuy fixed Knights of Valour 2 - Game now playable.
- 0.105u4: Fixed sound1 rom address to $800000. Added missing ARM7 CPU3 to the clones.
- 1st May 2006: David Haywood - Been doing some work with ElSemi updating the Thumb support in the ARM core based on the Nebula code. As a result these are improved (but don't work properly due to various core bugs). They also run at about 25% speed because the ARM emulation is very demanding. Thanks to Mooglyguy for the original Thumb support (see Martial Masters and Knights of Valour 2).
- 0.104u5: R. Belmont hooked up ARM7 protection CPU (20MhZ) in KOV2. Boots but does not run or play due to the Thumb sign problems.

- 0.69a: Added Knights of Valour 2 Plus - Nine Dragons (Testdriver).
