Description

The GameIDs of demo titles should map to their base INIs. For instance "Pro Evolution Soccer 2008" is RWEPA4 and it's demo is DWEPA4. So DWEPA4 should map to the RWE.ini.

Demo GameIDs are typically prefixed with "D" (for GameCube / Wii) or "X" for WiiWare, and should generally be mapped to the INI with matching characters beyond the first. It's possible for there to be overlapped mappings for Wii titles due to using both "R" and "S" prefixes, but there are few demo releases so hopefully it won't occur.

A few titles don't line up for instance...

DASE4Q = Disney Epic Mickey (Demo)
DAXE01 = The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Demo)

...but most seem to.
