Re: Understanding the HOTDOG files on DVD of California electronics

The HOTDOG30.DAT have a simular format as HOTDOG20.DAT.
HOTDOG30.DAT contains a subset (english and vietnamese) of the songs in HOTDOG30.DAT, sorted by songwriter.

Format in HOTDOG30.DAT:

First 4 bytes contains the number of songs listed in this file.

Song entries (same format as discribed previously for HOTDOG20.DAT) starts at 0x0FD0 or 0x0F60 or somting like that. The file contains the number of enties as indicated by the first 4 bytes of the file. After the last entry the file ends.

Raimains to find out how to find the the beginning of the song entries and how to interpret the information before the song entries.

Maybe it is possible to compare the beginning of HOTDOG20.DAT and HOTDOG30.DAT and see if there is a pattern.
