Description
Whenever I try to scan my backup of Phantasy Star Online (USA) for Sega Dreamcast, it is detected as Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial. I've verified my backup against redump, so I know the backup is good. Whenever I load it, RetroAchievements sees it as Phantasy Star Online. I've tried it as a gdi/bin and chd. I tried loading a backup of Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial (also verified against redump) and it didn't detect it. I've tried updating the RDB files, but no change. This is on Versions 1.16.0 and 1.17.0. I wasn't sure if there was a simple issue with the RDB file since Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial was released with PSO.
Thanks!

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the Dreamcast RDB records used for directory scanning and compare the Phantasy Star Online and Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial entries against the verified GDI/BIN and CHD cases described here. Done means each backup is detected as the correct game in versions 1.16.0 and 1.17.0.
