- 0.36RC1: Added (Testdriver) Suzuka 8 Hours (Japan).
- 22nd February 2000: Vernon C. Brooks added Suzuka 8 Hours 2 to the Namco System 2 driver, but like the other racing games, it's unplayable. Guru - Fixed the Char layer and now it looks much better. Still no title or bike gfx.
- 21st February 2000: Guru - Added Suzuka 8 Hours 2 to the source but it won't get past the test mode. Vernon C. Brooks fixed some protection issues and now Suzuka 8 Hours 2 comes up, though it is far from working. No Title gfx, no bike gfx, no controls (like most of the non-working System 2 games). As well as that the roadway code is not implimented yet in all the system 2 driving/racing games. It's a start though...
- 19th February 2000: Guru - Dumped some more roms including Suzuka 8 Hours 2.
