One could effectively argue Sec. 103(f) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 1201) allows reverse engineering, and this would fall under that section. But lets not play armchair lawyer, and just hope that people can start resurrecting their CPS2 B boards without resorting to Phonexing the roms.

>The post specifically says "without hardware modification".  So I'm assuming that MAME and the de-suicide stuff was a hack and not actual decryption.<

Slow your roll, player. By hack, he meant "work around". He's not talking about the actual act of getting the game code.

Why is 'phonexing' the roms undesirable?

I think it subtly changes the gameplay?  I had a phoenixed MVC once, I honestly couldn't tell a difference.

personally?  I hate the "Phoenix Edition" branding and website ad ,but in general they have a lower "value" when buying/selling
