In some Triforce games (e.g. _F-Zero AX_), the bytes that follow the
region flag in the `boot.id` file (at `0x38`) happen to be `0x00`.
However, in other games (e.g _Mario Kart Arcade GP 2_), it seems the
region flag is padded with `0xFF`.
_Mario Kart Arcade GP 2_ (`boot.id` in the USA version):
```
00000 0000: 42 54 49 44 00 00 01 E0 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 BTID.... ........
00000 0010: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ........ ........
00000 0020: 47 43 41 4D 00 00 01 C0 07 D3 05 0F 00 00 00 07 GCAM.... ........
00000 0030: 53 42 4E 4C 00 00 00 00 0E FF FF FF FF FF FF FF SBNL.... ........

region flag
```
When the region flag was tested in `switch` statements (where a single
byte was expected in the `case`s), the test would fail, depending
on the game.
This issue would lead to the wrong calculation of the country in
`VolumeDisc::GetCountry()`, which was then used to build the game ID in
`VolumeDisc::GetGameID()`.
The solution is to test using only the least meaningful byte in the
region flag.
Unexpected game IDs were first noticed with USA version of _Mario Kart
Arcade GP 2_, which was wrongly assigned the same game ID that is given
to the Japan version (i.e. `GNLJ82`). The correct game ID for the USA
version is `GNLE82`.
