- 0.128u1: Replaced I8051 CPU2 with I80C51 in clone (Super Slam conversion).

- 0.122u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed clone Power Balls (Super Slam conversion) crashed when running a debug build in gdb with -autosave (powerbls0112u4red).

- 0.105u5: Twisty added 'Difficulty' and removed 2x 'Unused' dipswitches.

- 0.105u4: f205v fixed OKI frequency in clone Power Balls (Super Slam conversion) to 7575 Hz.

- 22nd September 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Started to work on the rare Italian game Power Balls Playmark (1994) (probably no one has ever heard anything about it).
