Quite a fair amount of work yet to be completed for older hardware games excluding the discrete emulation part (analogue audio hardware and video including non-cpu games).
I noticed Midway Space Encounters was updated.

improve trench colors in space encounters and simulate screen flash effect. --
I wasn't familiar with that Midway game and wouldn't know how it worked unless watching gameplay from actual cab on some online video site.
Midway Phantom II is another game I didn't play in arcades and wouldn't know what it looks like exactly compared to emulation. The Midway parts catalog of Phantom II does have logic schematics printed in back of the parts catalog. Going by comments within the source code of the mw8080 file, it looks like someone did an attempt at looking over Midway Phantom II logic schematics many years earlier.

* Phantom II: cloud generator is implemented according to the schematics, but it doesn't look right. Cloud color mixing to be verified as well --

thanks for updating Midway 8080 hardware emulation

I did some changes. This is the way I like it.
