- 0.138u2: Luca Elia fixed dipswitches in Dragon World. Added dipswitches 'Open Girl?' and 'Bang Turtle?'.

- 0.133u2: f205v, Olivier Galibert and David Haywood added clone Dragon World (World, V021O). Added dipswitches 'Tiles' and 'Unknown'. Changed parent description to 'Dragon World (World, V040O)' and clone (World, V0300) to 'Dragon World (World, V030O)'. Renamed (chindrag) to (drgnwrldv21j), (drgwrld3) to (drgnwrldv30), (chindrac) to (drgnwrldv10c), (chindrah) to (drgnwrldv11h) and (chugokur) to (drgnwrldv20j).

- 25th June 2009: f205v dumped Dragon World (World, V021O). The PCB is perfectly working, empty spaces and empty sockets are clearly intended to be empty.

- 0.127u1: dyq changed description of clone 'Zhong Guo Long? (Hong Kong, V011H)' to 'Dong Fang Zhi Zhu (Hong Kong, V011H)', which means "oriental pearl".

- 10th August 2008: Luca Elia - I've taken another look at the IGS_Blit driver, thanks to Pierpaolo. I took the chance to clean up the driver, and review the protection handling in the non working games there. I managed to promoto the alternate world version of Dragon World along with its Hong Kong and Chinese variants (Zhong Guo Long) to a working status. The issues still open in this driver are now some lingering palette problems and, of course, proper emulation of the IGS0011 and IGS0012 ASIC's.

- 0.126: Added clone Zhong Guo Long (China, V0303).

- 24th September 2007: Mr. Do - Some more instruction cards courtesy of Tormod: Dragon World.
