> Ok fine, but for the record, you CAN dump CPS2 SIMMs, right?

The actual flashROMs used on the SIMMs are the same type (exactly) as used in many other games like Namco System 11/12 and others (which of course I've dumped many of)
The SIMMs themselves are simply flashROM-holders, they are a medium to route the legs of the flashROMs to the sockets that exist on the B-board, that's all.
They're no more complex than any other smt dump.

On your other question, the XOR's have not been created yet AFAIK.
