WIP:
- 0.153: hap changed description to 'Point Blank 3 (Asia, GNN2 Ver.A)' and clone 'Gunbalina (GNN1 Ver.A)' to 'Gunbalina (Japan, GNN1 Ver.A)'.
- 28th May 2012: Mr. Do - Nightvoice added instruction card for Point Blank 3 (though the game currently doesn't work).
- 0.144: Yohji, hap, Krusty, B. Munger, Brian Troha, D. Edwardson, Kevin Eshbach, R. Weidinger, J. Kretschmer, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added clone Gunbalina (GNN1 Ver.A).
- 14th October 2011: Smitdogg - Gunbalina arrived. It turned out to be the System 10 version so it won't immediately work but hap has been working on the driver recently so it could just start working any day now.
- 27th September 2011: Smitdogg - We were able to win the Gunbalina auction with the help of my friend in Japan who lent money for some of the cost. Including shipping costs there is still around $150 on the tab, so please donate if you can.
- 0.141u4: smf added correct bitswap for Point Blank 3.
- 0.141u3: Kevin Eshbach, hap, D. Edwardson, Paratech, ranger_lennier, M. Ponweiser, T. Petersen, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added 'Point Blank 3 (GNN2 Ver.A)' (Namco 2000).
- 23rd February 2011: Smitdogg - Point Blank 3 arrived.
- 19th February 2011: Smitdogg - I recently bought a wildly rare and expensive game that I've been looking for for years, Point Blank 3. I don't know why this game has been so hard to find, I guess people keep fixing cabs when they breakdown so it never gets parted out. I used to play it at a restaurant in St. Louis and it's quite fun so any rarity isn't due to it being a bad game, as is often the case... It's running on System 10, so it looks like Namco released it on System 11, 12, and then 10. Between this and some stuff I've bought in Japan, I'm in the hole quite a bit and could use some help if anyone can help out with donations. Besides that, we picked up a motherboard for the Sammy medal carts and an floppy disk updater for Offroad Thunder and I've been in touch with a guy in Japan who has undumped Deco Cassettes to lend out but the dumping situation with those is still a mess so we'll see what happens. Thanks so far for donations from: Kevin Eshbach, hap, D. Edwardson, Paratech, ranger_lennier, M. Ponweiser and T. Petersen.
