Patches for 7 games have been added including default settings
modifications for Disney's Treasure Planet to prevent few issues.
Thanks to Prafull for the patches !
What this PR primarily does is to sort out the PAL-E mess.
Some have used PAL-E for Englsh, others for Europa (PAL-M5), and others still for España.
With this PR all PAL-E should refer to English, while the ones referring to Europa have PAL-M5 or something as a code, and the ones referring to España have PAL-S as a code.
Generally only one letter is used for the more common languages; English etc.
So is the case in this PR.
For some PAL-M2 entries in particular, though maybe also for some PAL-M3 entries, there can be 2 or more discs of the same game having this code; it's not necessarily a disc specific code - it only tells how many languages the disc supports.
So is the case in this PR.
Language codes used:
E - English
G - German
I - Italian
S - Spanish
F - French
P - Portuguese
R - Russian
DU - Dutch
NO - Norwegian
SE - Swedish
DA - Danish
FI - Finnish
CZ - Czech
PL - Polish
HR - Croatian
HI - Hindu
This informs PCSX2 which games want to access more than just their own save files so it can load them into the virtual folder memory card.
This includes:
- Multi-disc games which obviously need to access saves from the other disc(s).
- Games that allow importing data from prequels.
- Games that unlock bonuses if they find data from other games in the series, by the same developer, etc.
This is almost certainly not all games that would want to access other saves, but it should cover a lot them.
Game still doesn't look quite right in hardware renderer (too bright)
but the hideous graphics errors are fixed by changing clamp mode. This
game is considered something of a "hidden FPS gem", so it's nice to
think people will be able to play it on PCSX2 now.
