WIP:

- 0.174: Changed description to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo, NGM-083)' and clone (bootleg) to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo, bootleg)'.

- 0.143u4: Changed description to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo) (NGM-083)'.

- 0.134u1: JohnBoy identified pbobblena as bootleg, renamed (pbobblena) to (pbobblenb), renamed roms to 'correct' chip label. Changed description of clone (set 2) to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo) (bootleg)'.

- 0.129u4: Renamed (pbobblna) to (pbobblena).

- 0.125u5: Johnboy corrected set Puzzle Bobble as found on MVS cart, added notes.

- 0.120: Johnboy added new 512k cpu1 rom and re-added 128k cpu2 m1 rom from MAME v0.34b5.

- 0.71: Razoola added clone Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo) (set 2). Changed parent description to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo) (set 1)'.

- 0.53: Renamed (pbobble) to (pbobblen).

- 0.37b5: Changed description to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move (Neo-Geo)'.

- 13th June 2000: Jarek Burczynski added Hit the Ice, Puzzle Bobble (Japan, B-System), Quiz Sekai wa SHOW by shobai and Rambo 3 to the Taito-B driver. Nicola Salmoria fixed the sprite zooming code in the Taito-B driver.

- 0.35RC2: Nicola Salmoria incresed the horizontal resolution for NeoGeo to 320. This looks strange with some games, but it is definitely the correct value as I verified it on the real thing. Games like Puzzle Bobble and Baseball Stars use the extra area, while most of the other games draw just two bars in there. If a game looks odd, adjust your monitor to send the extra area offscreen.

- 0.34b6: Changed description to 'Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move'.

- 0.34b1: Added 'Puzzle Bobble' (Taito 1994).
