I believe Gaelco contributed information on how the VRAM encryption worked on World Rally (and of course, the internal MCU rom)
We'd already mostly figured the VRAM stuff out for Squash, but it definitely helped improve the code.
Of course, maybe you don't count that, because it was a chip they'd programmed to do something, rather than the manufacturer of a chip.
