The difference between Dolphin's game IDs and GameTDB's game IDs
is that GameTDB uses four characters for non-disc titles, whereas
Dolphin uses six characters for all titles.
This fixes:
- TitleDatabase considering Datel discs to be NHL Hitz 2002
- Gecko code downloading not working for discs with IDs starting with P
- Cover downloading mixing up discs with channels (e.g. Mario Kart Wii
and Mario Kart Channel) and making extra HTTP requests. (Android was
actually doing a better job at this than DolphinQt!)
According to http://scanlines16.com/en/blog-3/retro-gaming/game-cube/gamecube-korean-master-list/,
Korean GC releases use the following country codes:
- E or W for games in English
- K for games in Korean
- Unknown value for games in Japanese (my guess is that they might
have made the discs bit-for-bit identical to Japanese releases
because the regions of these games are already set to NTSC-J)
As far as I know, the GC has no Taiwanese releases, which is what
the W country code is used for on the Wii. But I could be wrong.
A small note: The country_byte == 'K' check in the code isn't
actually necessary as long as RegionSwitchGC returns NTSC_J
for 'K', but I thought it would be better to not rely on that.
The county code isn't 100% reliable for detecting the region.
For instance, some games released in Korea have the country
code E even though they're region-locked to NTSC-J consoles.
This commit makes the GC disc region detection match the Wii
disc region detection (apart from the region value being in
a different place on the disc).
Instead of expecting callers to know how the size of directory file infos
relates to which files are in which directories, filesystems now offer a
GetRoot() method, and file infos offer a way to get their children. As
a bonus, m_FileInfoVector no longer has to be created and kept around
in RAM. Only the file info objects that actually are used are created.
Some callers already have the file info, making the relatively slow
FindFileInfo calls unnecessary. Callers that didn't have the file info
will now need to call FindFileInfo on their own.
