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!)
These country codes have the unfortunate property that they are used
by Wii disc games in two different regions. We already correct for this
in VolumeGC::GetCountry and VolumeWii::GetCountry, so this commit
shouldn't really have any effect on how the game list behaves,
but it will be useful if we in the future would want to call
CountrySwitch directly without having extra code in the caller for
handling region weirdness.
The header of a Wii disc can be read from two places: The
unencrypted area at the beginning of the disc, or the beginning of
the game partition. The two copies are usually identical (except
for 0x60 and 0x61), but there are exceptions. For most of Dolphin's
history, we have been reading from the header inside the game
partition when getting metadata. This was however not the case
starting with 4.0-4901 and ending with 5.0-3762. This commit once
again makes Dolphin read metadata from the unencrypted header,
because of the following reasons that I recently was informed about:
- The "pink fish" disc has the game ID 410E01 in the unencrypted
header but the placeholder game ID RELSAB in the partition header.
- The revisions of some games differ between the two headers,
with the unencrypted one making more sense.
(See https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11387)
For better or worse, this also means that sloppily hacked games where
only the game ID in the unencrypted header has been changed now will
use that modified game ID. And unlike with the partition header,
there is no signing or hashing that can tell us whether the
unencrypted header has been modified by someone other than Nintendo.
ChunkFile doesn't use any of the file utilities, so we can drop these
headers to avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. This also
uncovered a few indirect inclusions.
We can just use std::any_of here to collapse the checking code down to a
single assignment as opposed to a loop. This also slightly improves on
the existing code, as this won't continue to iterate through the cluster
metadata if an entry that's non-zero is encountered.
These disc images are only used on dev units and not retail units.
There are two important differences compared to normal Wii disc images:
- The data starts 0x8000 bytes into each partition instead of 0x20000
- The data of a partition is stored unencrypted and contains no hashes
Our old implementation was just guesswork and doesn't work at all.
According to testing by GerbilSoft, this commit's implementation
is able to read and extract files in the filesystem correctly,
but the tested game still isn't able to boot. (It's thanks to their
info about unencrypted disc images that I was able to make this commit.)
Since all FS access will go through the new FS interface (PR #6421)
in order to keep track of metadata properly, there is no need to return
absolute paths anymore.
In fact, returning host paths is a roadblock to using the FS interface.
This starts the migration work by adding a way to get paths that are
relative to the Wii NAND instead of always getting absolute paths
on the host FS.
To prepare for future changes, this commit also makes returned paths
canonical by removing the trailing slash when it's unneeded.
Eventually, once everything has been migrated to the new interface,
we can remove the "from" parameter.
