M1's working is still unclear (more on this later), so we will be speaking of M2 & M3 most of the time.
Notes below refer to M2 & M3.
The encryption is done by a stream cipher operating in counter mode, which use a 16-bits internal block cipher.

When bit #1 of the heading control bits is set to 1, an additional decompression step seems to be carried out. As of
february/2010, Deunan Knute has put some work on analyzing the decompression algorithm, but probably much more work will
be needed to completely reverse engineer it. Interested devs with quick access to hardware tests are welcomed to join
the task.
Guilty Gear X & Sega Tetris are examples of games using the decompression ingame.
Due to technical details, it's more difficult to get custom decryption data from M1 carts, which hinders some types of
analysis. The only M1 cart which have received attention until now have been AH! MY GODDESS. The available data clearly
doesn't have the same structure than M2&M3 carts using only the decryption step. However, due to that some hardware tests
show cycled structures similar to the ones returned by M2&M3 carts using the decompression algo, it's conjectured that M1
carts will be using the same decompression algorithm seen in M2&M3 ones.
