- 15th February 2010: f205v dumped Aracnis (bootleg 1982) of Scorpion.
- 0.133u5: Couriersud fixed missing sound in Scorpion and clones.

- 27th August 2007: f205v and Corrado Tomaselli dumped Scorpion (set 3). Speech chip is a digitalker MM54104, 100% certain of it. The wavefile shows the distinctive half-period zeroing. The voice roms are already dumped, they're at 32_a3.6e, 32_a2.6d and 32_a1.6c, concatenated in that order. There are 45 words, most if not all of which are from the standard national semiconductor SSR1/SSR2 set.
