Idea: Auto Region switch #238

Open diettelo opened 3 years ago

diettelo commented 3 years ago

Automatic adjust Hz to 50 or 60 if a Pal or Ntsc Rom is loaded.

This is unfortunately not practical. While region is in the headers, ideally, NES headers are far from reliable. Additionally some games are considered "world" games for either region. Trying to guess if it should be ntsc, pal, or dendy will probably create more exceptions than would be acceptable.

NES 2.0 headers should have the correct region so we could add an Auto setting that falls back to NTSC without a NES 2.0 header or when "Multiple-region" is set.

You can do that, I just think headers are in poor shape enough that it will create issues and bug reports of people saying the game doesn't work because it's running with the wrong number of scanlines.

Auto region switch would be really good!
