Some questions about games.ini

Guess this won't be interesting for everyone, but giving a closer look to Dolphin's inner mechanism, the game.ini and some other details caught my attention.
First thing first, obviously this file does contain the infos about games, much like Project64 RDB does: modifying it to add more titles should be easy, except from the fact that i can't understand where the internal names come from! Anyone knows?
Also, following the tradition of Nemu, could the game.ini be used not only as a support for the ROM (???) Browser but also as an archive of pre-settings for every game?
Lastly, where banners are located in a GC disc (or GCM)?

If these questions are futile, then please forgive me: guess I'm just too stuck with good ol' N64... :n64:

The first 4 chars of the GCM are some kind of unique ID.
The game.ini could be used for holding some game settings too, but we are changing very often internal things and i dont want to mofidy the GUI each time too.
The banner is inside the GCM... it is in a file called opening.bnr

cheers,
