WIP:

- 0.178: Added CAT702 protection key.

- 0.153: G-Darius is COH-1002T with 2MB VRAM, the other Taito FX1b games (raystorm and ftimpact) have 1MB VRAM [hap].

- 0.127u1: Changed clone 'G-Darius Ver.2 (Ver 2.03J)' to parent.

- 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 G-Darius.

- 0.93: Added clone G-Darius (Ver 2.02A).

- 27th February 2005: Manuel Assoni dumped G-Darius (Ver 2.02A).

- 0.83: Changed description to 'G-Darius (Ver 2.01J)' and clone (JAPAN) to 'G-Darius Ver.2 (Ver 2.03J)'.

- 0.82u2: Fixed user2 roms addresses. Tourniquet, Olivier Galibert, smf, R. Belmont, [red], Malice, Renegade, Twisty, Dox, BUT and many other MAME.net board users helped out to find the missing ZN protection key - Game now playable.

- 22nd May 2004: Guru - G Darius Ver.2 (Taito 1997, ZN1 hardware) arrived on loan from Blastar.

- 0.74u2: Added 'G-Darius (JAPAN)' (Taito 1997) and clone G-Darius Ver.2 (JAPAN).

- 0.71: smf and MooglyGuy added (Testdrivers) G-Darius (JAPAN) and clone Ver.2 (JAPAN).
