Since the Namco System 246/256 etc hardware is based on the PS2 and in fact the bios currently loads and attempts to run the encrypted games, is support for these systems planned or something the team might take on?
I imagine the protection might cause a headache or two depending on how far detached from magic gate it is, but in theory it shouldn't be too different from the retail PS2s to emulate?
It'd be very interesting to see this happen, I don't think MAME will have these working, at least at any resonable speeds for a long time yet.
Here's evidence of the BIOS loading in PCSX2 btw: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Namco-system-246
