Comment (by criezy):

 > However, the detection entry for Orion Burger does match my version
 perfectly. There shouldn't be any need for fallback detection.
 > If I understand detection correctly, ScummVM will call detectGames()
 once for every engine. It will first look for exact matches, remove any
 pirated version it finds, and finally - if there are no exact matches - it
 will do fallback detection.
 > But when it checks if there are any known games found, that's only the
 known games for that engine, not the games it has found for other engines
 so far. Which seems sub-optimal to me.

 This is indeed a known issue.
 See https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/1493 that was an attempt to
 fix it and the discussion that explains the possible caveats and why that
 particular attempt was not merged.
