WIP:

- 0.143u5: hap fixed Pocket Racer runs too fast. Changed M37702 CPU2 and C352 sound clock speeds to 16934400 Hz. Added 2x buttons.

- 0.130u1: Changed description to 'Pocket Racer (Japan, PKR1/VER.B)'.

- 0.127u2: smf fixed Pocket Race. The car turns only to the right and there is no way to calibrate controls.

- 25th September 2006: Mr. Do - Added bezel for Pocket Racer. Good thing I had the cabinet for awhile.

- 0.108u5: smf and Guru added 'Pocket Racer (PKR1/VER.B)' (Namco 1996).

- 20th September 2006: Dumping Project - Purchased Pocket Racer (Namco). Thank go to the fivepeople who recently donated after the last request. A special thanks goes to Kevin.
