I tried Tengai Makyou Zero (Far East of Eden) and it won't work on a SWC even if you do the pin 1 mod thingie. It just gives the "backup ga kowaretemasu A-button wo oshite" message (backup is broken, press A-button) and then the SPC7110 check program. I dunno why they call it a "backup", but I'm pretty sure they didn't have in mind the sort of "backups" we talk about here :)
I assume Star Ocean wouldn't work either, as it uses the SPC7110 chip also. The roms aren't really encrypted, but compressed, and the game won't work if it doesn't find the decompression chip.
