The 156-byte "Magic Cookie Data" from 0x08000004 to 0x0800009f
is a Huffman-compressed representation of the Nintendo logo.
You can create a proper header, including the MCD, by using
any of the header tools available at gbadev.org. If you
already have a proper header, then you have protocol problems.

to read from the cartridge through that port.
It is possible. The MBV2 cable can dump carts:
mb -1 rom.gba -w 300
(that's a dash one not a dash L)
