WIP:

- 0.142: David Haywood converted Vapor Trail to use the common DECO sprite functions. Started moving common DECO MXC06 sprite controller code to it's own device files, reducing code duplication. Fixed multiwidth sprites in decmxc06.c, removed code which appeared to serve no purpose other than to break the Birdie Try gfxdecode in machine\dec0.c.

- 0.137u2: f205v and Tirino73 added clone Vapor Trail - Hyper Offence Formation (World revision 3?).

- 23rd March 2010: f205v and Tirino73 dumped Vapor Trail - Hyper Offence Formation (World revision 3).

- 0.136u4: Fabio Priuli converted Vapor Trail to use device versions of the deco16 video chips and added driver data class and save states.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (vaportru) to (vaportrau).

- 0.119u2: Wilbert Pol fixed Vapor Trail to use an ASSERT/CLEAR mechanism instead of PULSE_LINE for interrupt signally.

- 0.103u3: David Haywood converted Super Burger Time, Vapor Trail and Crude Buster to use the DECO tilemap functions. Swapped gfx2 roms.

- 0.102u5: Highwayman added prom ($0 - 512 bytes).

- 0.96u3: Bryan McPhail attempted to fix Vapor Trail dropped sound commands. Changed HuC6280 CPU2 clock speed to 8055000 Hz.

- 0.93: Changed 2nd OKI6295 clock speed to 15255 Hz.

- 0.84u5: UNZU fixed YM2151/YM3012 balance.

- 0.36b1: Bryan McPhail added 'Vapor Trail - Hyper Offence Formation (US)' (Data East 1989) and clone 'Kuhga - Operation Code \"Vapor Trail\" (Japan revision 3)'.

- 22nd June 1999: Jim Hernandez partially fixed the sound in Vapor Trail.
