I've actually been thinking about that, and I've come to the conclusion that this mostly hinges on just how similar Sega's new Aurora hardware is to the old NAOMI and NAOMI 2. If they're too similar, MAMEdev may get cold feet about it until the Aurora is dead. But if they're dissimilar enough to not really be related, then we may see progress pretty soon (The Guru's started dumping the games, and I believe Sega has discontinued the GD-ROM format, which will help).
But the hardware I'm looking at as the next to be cracked is the Taito G-NET. Once dumped, the games should work fully (sans sound, thanks to an unemulated DSP) due to them being on a modified ZN-2 board. It's just the dumping that's tough, but smf is apparently making progress.
On one last note, Andreas Naive is really making a name for himself. Helping with cracking the CPS2 and now breaking the CPS3? Quite the rising star.
