This just leaves the Pal Multimega, the 3 Wondermegas and the japanese model 2 completely undumped. (Now if Epicenter would dump his goddamn japanese model 2 already! *hint* *hint*)

Wow. I had read the traditional dumping methods wouldn't work with the JVC. So did it just work, or was there something different you did there?
Spinel
I just used my transfer cable, it just worked.

However, by "traditional method" i think its ment that dumping the Mask ROM directly is impossible. As the X'Eye contains no dedicated Mask ROM chip. the BIOS is hidden away in one of the custom chips (like the TMSS is). I also dumped the X'Eye's TMSS and its identical to the already dumped TMSS.

Interesting of note, usually, dumping the CD BIOS from memory using MoD's tools will have 2 bytes wrong at 0x72. Using MoDs tools it will be FFFF, because the Sega CD treats those two bytes as RAM. but when I dumped my X'Eye it pulled FD0C, which is whats on the ROM. So the X'Eye is not treating that area as RAM, weird.

Also, before anyone asks, this bios doesn't work properly in Fusion or Gens. In Gens, its stuck with No Disc, and options menu hangs it. In Fusion when selecting Game or Options, it hangs, also CDDA doesn't play. Fusion mangaes to load the TOC at least, where gens does not, hmm. So currently its only useful for watching the intro :\
