- 0.150: Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added clone Night Slashers (US Rev 1.2, HuC6280 Sound CPU). Added ln-00.j7 prom to parent.
- 3rd August 2013: Smitdogg - I got the undumped USA version of Night Slashers.

- 0.111u6: Sonikos fixed YM2151 sound clock frequency to 2013750 Hz in Night Slashers.
- 0.111u2: Aaron Giles properly implemented sound interrupts in Night Slashers. Improved cycle timings in the ARM CPU core. Altered the DECO32 CPU clocks to be more realistic. Changed ARM CPU1 clock speed to 7080500 Hz and Z80 CPU2 to 3580000 Hz.
- 0.105u4: Stefan Lindberg added clone Night Slashers (Over Sea Rev 1.2).
- 0.103u3: MAME Italia improved sound balance in Night Slashers. Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 7MHz and YM2151 to 2013750 Hz.
- 12th January 2006: David Haywood - Some sound problems were reported in Night Slashers, I've attempted to improve this but I'm not a very good judge of sound.
- 0.103u2: Tomasz Slanina added sound to Night Slashers. Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 4MHz.
- 0.103u1: Bryan McPhail and Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed the DECO 32 driver. Night Slashers pretty much perfect apart from lack of sound - Game now playable. Replaced M6809 CPU2 and BSMT2000 sound with Z80 (7MHz) CPU2, YM2151 (3580000 Hz), OKI6295 (7627 Hz) and OKI6295 (15255 Hz) sound. Fixed gfx3 rom loading. Changed parent description to 'Night Slashers (Korea Rev 1.3)' and clone (Japan) to 'Night Slashers (Japan Rev 1.2)'.
- 31st December 2005: Bryan McPhail - Due to pressing deadlines in 'real' work, this took somewhat longer than I thought to finish off. Unfortunately, although all Deco156 games now boot in MAME, only Night Slashers and Heavy Smash are properly playable. All the other games make use of a math co-processor which is not yet understood. Of the broken games Skull Fang works the most - the attract mode is fully correct, and it's playable up to the first boss. The other games mostly have serious gameplay errors (eg, AI players do not respond correctly in Hoops). Sound is also bust in all of the new games.
