It's pretty trivial for a company to make a mold for a plastic cartridge. The chips are nothing special, they are just ROMs. Cheap and widely available.

In fact, I'm pretty confident that a competent DIYer could 3D print a cartridge shell, flash a ROM, and etch a PCB in an afternoon or two.



The easiest part would be the 3d printed cartridge. There's a file on Thingiverse.

For something at McDonalds’ scale I’m sure they could do an injection moulded run anyway.
