Bugs:

- Graphic glitch in the service mode. Twisty (ID 00027)

Renamed (gigandes) to (gigandesa) and (gigandesj) to (gigandes).

- 0.143u3: Changed 'Unknown' dipswitch to 'Unused'.

- 0.130u4: Renamed (gigandsj) to (gigandesj).

- 0.118u4: Removed button 3. Added dipswitches 'Debug Mode' and 'Controls'.

- 0.106u1: Changed 'Unused' dipswitch to 'Unknown'.

- 0.100u3: Chack'n added clone Gigandes (Japan). Fixed rom names.

- 0.37b16: Added 3rd player button and removed 3rd coin slot.

- 0.37b9: Yochizo added 'Gigandes' (East Technology 1989).

- 16th September 2000: Yochizo added Balloon Brothers, Gigandes and Daisenpu to the Superman a.k.a. Taito X driver.
