How does Dolphin assign game names?

I am asking because it lists Donkey Kong Country Returns as DK Country Returns. What causes that?

Yeah I was wondering how to change that and the description too.

I think it has a database of games.

It uses whatever game name is read from the ISO. Once you've created a save, it reads the name from the save data.

Yes I have noticed the difference between the two, including the image next to the game. But why does it call it DK Country Returns? They programmed the game to call it that?

Can we change it?

Yes.

No(t really unless you want to hex-edit your image, and possibly break it).
