Great job! Can't wait for HDD support.
I'll probably have the HDD support for 1.1, around June 2021 or so. It turns out those formats are much easier than the floppy formats, since no one tried to do any weird copy-protection with hard disks like they did with floppy images for the PC-98.

I also have only one THD image file — Shinjuku Monogatari. I don't remember where I got it from, but it's almost 20 years old.
I've never actually had a copy of T98 (Only the successor, T98-Next) but it appears that emulator used two file formats:
TFD (Floppy) - VFIC handles this, I've never seen a TFD file in any of the collections (No FIVEC support for that reason)
THD (Hard Disk) - T98-Next accepts this, calls it "T98 HD Image"
Then that emulator was replaced with T98-Next, which uses two different file formats:
NFD (Floppy) - VFIC/FIVEC handle both versions of this. It came in an .r0 version, which was superceded by .r1
NHD (Hard Disk) - T98-Next accepts this, calls it "T98-NEXT HD Image"
So it seems to be THD is obsolete. I've got FIVEC to load the one image I have, but without any documentation or other images, I can't tell what most of the 256-byte header is used for (if anything)
