Emu#dreams reports that Ville Linde has been making progress with 'Operation Thunder Hurricane' and 'GTI Club'. Below is Linde's log.

These games have been rather difficult to get running. Especially GTI Club is quite picky about the Konami LAN controller emulation, and it's still causing some problems. The 3D graphics in these games is handled by a custom Konami chipset, so it may take a good while to emulate those.

You can visit Linde's MAME development page here. Spectrum 2000 support has also been worked on, more information on that can be viewed here. Finally, Haze has added support for Tang Tang to the esd16 driver, however, the graphics ROMs containing the backgrounds aren’t dumped. You can read more about that here.
