Wii Ineluki Key Patch - Last line of a .link.wav file is read as garbage data #3625

Description

@Mimigris

On Wii, when playing a .link.wav file as audio as part of Ineluki, if the file only contains a line to specify the path to the file, the path will be interpreted as garbage.

For instance, when playing the sound file wav.link.wav, which contains the following content:
Cat.wav

EasyRPG Player on Wii will never return Cat.wav, but will instead return garbage filenames:

This problem is very likely not limited to only .link.wav files, but is easier to see with those files, as they will always trigger this issue as long as no loop argument is given.
