0.63 [David Haywood, Nicola Salmoria, Paul Priest]

0.62 [Testdriver]


WIP:

- 0.169: caius added clone Pirates (set 2). Changed parent description to 'Pirates (set 1)'.

- 20th December 2015: Smitdogg - caius got an alt version of Pirates.

- 0.72: Work around for Genix protection and tilemap scroll, making Pirates playable [Paul Priest]. Changed MSM6295 clock speed to 8080 Hz.

- 0.63: David Haywood added Pirates (NIX 1994).

- 25th December 2002: Nicola Salmoria decrypted Pirates completely and Paul Priest patched the protection, making the game fully playable.

- 15th November 2002: David Haywood sent in a newer Pirates driver, adding the tilemap layer but it is still not perfect since sprites and samples are encrypted.

- 0.62: Added (Testdriver) Pirates.

- 16th July 2002: David Haywood sent in a preliminary driver for Pirates which is playable but the graphics don't show up and sound doesn't work because of encryption.
