Dummy File

In the CD version, within the folder Bin\ is a 628 MB file named Launcher_Data.dbd, which, despite its name and apparently being a DemoShield file, is actually a disguised WAV file that has a duration of 62 minutes. The contents of the file are as follows:

• From 00:00:00 to 00:02:59, there is silence.
• From 00:03:00 to 00:07:40, there is what appears to be camcorder audio of kids trying to sing "Jingle Bells", possibly one of the developer's sons.
• From 00:07:41 to 00:12:17, there is more silence.
• From 00:12:18 until the end of the audio file, there is a repeating sequence of DTMF tones.
