2017-11-10ENGINES: Improve output of unknown game variant detectionColin Snover
When a user tries to add a game expecting it to be a particular game for a particular engine, but a detector from another engine happens to match some files that exist in the game directory and reports on those files instead, this can cause a lot of confusion because the detector doesn't say what engine or game it thought it matched. This patch adds the name of the matching engine as well as any matching game IDs (if applicable) to the detector's logged output. It also provides more specific guidance about where to send the detection information (to the bug tracker), and properly wraps the first part of the report to 80 columns. Refs Trac#10272.

2012-07-30GOB: Add a more complex detection for Once Upon A Time titlesSven Hesse
The hard-coded Once Upon A Time titles, Abracadabra and Baba Yaga, are impossible to distinguish by file name alone. The same is true for the each three platforms, DOS, Amiga and Atari ST. We do need to know exactly which game and platform a specific path holds, though, because they're a) completely hard-coded b) the data files have platform-specific endianness Therefore, when the filename-based fallback detector finds one of those games, we open the archives and look inside them. We detect the specific game by looking at which animal names are present; and the platform by inspecting the endianness of the title screen's DEC file, in addition to the existence of a MOD file to distinguish the Atari ST from the Amiga version.

2012-06-27GOB: Report unknown game variant when using the file based fallback detectorSven Hesse
2012-06-27DETECTOR: Make detectGameFilebased() return a list of MD5s and file sizesSven Hesse
Since we need a FSNode parent for Mac resource forks, we need to change signature of detectGameFilebased(), too.
2012-06-22GOB: Reorganize the detection tablesSven Hesse
The big table with it's 330 entries grew far too messy and unwieldy, so I'm splitting it into several files. One file for each game, with some exceptions: - The Playtoons series - The ADI / Addy 2 series - The ADI / Addy 4 series - The Adibou / Addy Junior series
