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!)
Normal users don't care about it. In fact, people care so
little about it that the Wii implementation of it was broken
starting from when it was implemented (eb65601) to 7 years
later (e0a47c1), apparently without anyone reporting it.
By removing mutable state in VolumeWiiCrypted, this change makes
partition-related code simpler. It also gets rid of other ugly things,
like ISOProperties's "over 9000" loop that creates a list of
partitions by trying possible combinations, and DiscScrubber's
volume swapping that recreates the entire volume when it needs to
change partition.
Instead of needing different switch cases for
converting countries to regions in multiple places,
we now only need a single country-to-region switch case
(in DiscIO/Enums.cpp), and we get a nice Region type.
At first there weren't many enums in Volume.h, but the number has been
growing, and I'm planning to add one more for regions. To not make
Volume.h too large, and to avoid needing to include Volume.h in code
that doesn't use volume objects, I'm moving the enums to a new file.
I'm also turning them into enum classes while I'm at it.
04fcb72 fixed an issue with reading the Wii FST size, but I found a second
issue when working on PR #2820 - the size must be shifted left by 2.
DiscScrubber and Boot already do this correctly using separate code.
GC games with long names store two variations of the name in
opening.bnr. This makes the shorter of those names available.
For volumes other than GC discs, prefer_long is ignored.
ISOFile and GameFile were using IsWiiDisc() and IsWadFile() to set
an enum value. The volume might as well return an enum directly.
I increased the Qt CACHE_REVISION because m_platform now is saved as u32
instead of int, but increasing the wx CACHE_REVISION is not necessary.
This is intended to better separate it from GetNames and to clarify
that this name originally wasn't meant to be shown to users.
The ISOProperties GUI is also updated, mainly because labeling
the long banner name "short name" was confusing.
Having some data available in banner loaders and some other data
data available in volumes gets messy, especially with GetNames(),
which is available in both but returns different results
depending on which one is used. This change drops support
for reading names and descriptions from Wii save data.
This makes the code cleaner and also leads to some user-visible changes:
The wx game properties will no longer let the user
select WAD languages that don't have any names.
The Qt game list will now display names using the languages
set in the configuration instead of always using
English for PAL GC games and Japanese for WADs.
If a WAD doesn't have a name in the user's preferred language,
English is now selected as a fallback before Japanese.
