GameIDs

From Dolphin Emulator Wiki

See also: GameID Confirmation Guide, which goes over the verification requirements for IDs on the wiki.

To identify Nintendo console titles, Dolphin uses a 6-character identifier known as a GameID. There are 4 significant subsets in each GameID:

Subset # Offset Meaning
1 X_____ System Code (1 character) – Identifies the system the title is for
2 _XX___ Title Code (2 characters) – Identifies the title
3 ___X__ Region Code (1 character) – Identifies the region the title is released in
4 ____XX Publisher Code (2 characters) – Identifies the publisher

In disc dumps all parts of the GameID are directly adjacent which is why Dolphin uses them as a single unit. Nintendo only uses the first 4 characters to identify games, e.g. in WAD files, Wii title IDs, and product codes.
