so yesterday Nick Robinson dumped the long-lost McDonalds eCDP cartridge, video here:
Anyways, I mounted the NDS file, and copied the data to my PC. This is where stuff gets odd.
I mainly dumped the game files to access the chiptune version of the McDonalds jingle, but the 9 sound files in the sdat file for this game are nowhere near it. I still opened them in VGMTrans, converted them from MIDI+SF2 to MP3, zipped them, and uploaded them to my favorite ROM site. So, my assumption is that the audio we're looking for is a Mobiclip video.
In data/soc, the end of the documentary has a bunch of *.mods files, proving my assumption right. So, now we need to find a Mobiclip decoder. Easy? Nope. One of the first results was Gericom's Mobiclip decoder. However, no releases were given, just a link to a compiled binary to a file that doesn't exist anymore. The Wayback Machine also proved fruitless, and no makefile was provided in the github. As a last resort, I went to the GBAtemp Download Center, and couldn't find a Mobiclip player. WHYYYYYYY
