v0.111.0: romdev_game_codes: restore the game titles the name scrub mangled
@monteslu monteslu tagged this 01 Aug 03:51 
The commercial-name scrub ran over the cheat database's DATA, not just prose,
rewriting the titles the index is keyed by:

  Zanac                                  -> the NES cart
  Tony Hawk's Underground (USA, Europe)  -> a Dreamcast disc's Underground ...
  Crazy Taxi - Catch a Ride              -> a Dreamcast disc - Catch a Ride

The surviving possessive in 'a Dreamcast disc''s Underground' is the giveaway:
a blind find-and-replace, not an edit. It broke the package's only job, which
is looking up cheats BY GAME NAME, and publish-all caught it as content drift
against the registry.

A cheat index has to name games to be usable -- that is the same as a TV guide
naming shows, and quite different from shipping game content. Restored gba,
gbc, msx and nes from the published 0.1.0 tarball; all four are now
byte-identical to it, so the package stays at 0.1.0 with no drift.

Verified no other package carries the substitution signature. 1357/1357.
