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!)
Gecko codes are a core foundation of most netplay sessions and most general modding cases. It has gone so far as to now have an ini for almost every game.
After the massive UI overhaul, the gecko code sorting defaults to Alphabetical with no option to change it. This removes the possibility for netplay builds to have important and necessary codes at the top for easy selecting, and removes the ability to sort massive code lists in categories.
This will also make the sorting consistent with AR codes, which are sorted manually.
