- 0.126u5: Roberto Zandona implemented MWR (memory width register) in Shanghai to avoid hardcoded 384 value for screen width.

- 0.126u4: Roberto Zandona fixed window in Shanghai.

- 12th October 2005: Charles MacDonald - Getting a bunch of PCBs to work with in the next few weeks: Shanghai for HD63484 tests.

- 13th January 2001: Nicola Salmoria fixed the window border graphics in the Shanghai driver.

- 12th January 2001: Nicola Salmoria added window graphics emulation to the Shanghai driver and he added support for Shanghai II.

- 2nd June 1999: Nicola sent in a preliminary Shanghai driver, but it stumbles on a bug of the i86 core.

- 30th May 1999: Nicola has begun working on Shanghai, but it contains a strange graphics chip so the progress will probably be very slow.

Shanghai was released in March 1988.

Shanghai and its sequels are 'Szechuan'-style solitaire mahjong games where the object is to match identical pairs of tiles until the board is clear or you are unable to make another move. This type of solitaire mahjong can also be referred to as 'Shanghai', hence the game title. The stacked-tile arrangement presented here is one of many traditional Chinese 'Szechuan'-style solitaire mahjong arrangements.
