WIP:

- 0.182: Decapped / dumped an MCU for Quizard (v1.8) and clones [TeamEurope]. Added I8751 (8MHz) CPU2 and quizard1_german_d8751.bin MCU rom.

- 0.164: TeamEurope added clone Quizard (v1.0). Changed 'Quizard 1.8' to 'Quizard (v1.8)', 'Quizard 1.2' to clone 'Quizard (v1.2)' and 'Quizard 1.7' to clone 'Quizard (v1.7)'. Renamed (quizrd18) to (quizard), (quizrd12) to (quizard_12) and (quizrd17) to (quizard_17).

- 0.144u5: Klaus Sommer, Team Europe and The Dumping Union added 'Quizard 1.8' (TAB Austria 1995).

- 0.139u4: Harmony fixed Quizard 1.2 and Quizard 1.7 - Games now playable. Patched out the majority of the Quizard 1.2 and Quizard 1.7 protection check, made the patch more generic and emulated the game's inputs.

- 11th October 2010: Harmony - With some additional finagling, I've managed to get both Quizard 1.2 and Quizard 1.7 to be fully playable by either one or two players, along with service mode. Additionally, the protection check patches were able to be made partially generic, enabling Quizard 3.2 and Quizard Rainbow 4.1 to boot, go into attract mode, and coin up without much hassle. Unfortunately, both of them have some sort of additional checks before they'll go in-game. I can patch them with an additional poke, but that ventures into even more hacky territory than I'd like.

- 10th October 2010: Harmony - Using a targeted hack, I was able to get the 1.7 revision of Quizard to boot in MAME. Unfortunately, this looks like it's going to be pretty gnarly, as the MCU controls all inputs and dipswitches to the game. Yikes! (see http://harmoniouscode.blogspot.com/).

- 0.139u1: Team Europe and The Dumping Union added 'Quizard 1.2' (Disney 1995). Renamed (quizard) to (quizrd17).

- 1st August 2010: Smitdogg - Team Europe dumped Quizard versions 1.2.

- 0.138u3: Luigi, Volker Hann and Team Europe added 'Quizard 1.7' (Disney 1996). Harmony added a skeleton driver for Philips CD-i-based arcade series, Quizard.

- 10th April 2010: Smitdogg - Team Europe has accumulated and dumped Quizard 1.2 01/95, 1.7 10/96, 2.2 03/95, 3.2 01/96, 4.1 06/98, and 4.2 09/98, and there is a driver for them currently being worked on.

- 13th March 2010: Smitdogg - Team Europe dumped a few revisions of Quizard.
