When processing Genesis roms, the generator thinks that:

Lost Vikings, The (USA) (November, 1993)

is better than:

Lost Vikings, The (USA) (October, 1995)

It currently doesn't have a distinction for dates. I can add it, though, as long as there's a formalized format for it.

unexpectedpanda commented 3 years ago

No-Intro is a bit inconsistent on dates. So far I've come across the following:

mm-dd-yyyy
mm-dd-yy
month name, yyyy

@unexpectedpanda username checks out :D

Yeah, I can introduce support for that. It's not that hard. Just a few more regexes and one term in the comparation tuple.

However, I think it should come after any sort of versioning, if one is present, so v2 is preferred over v1 February, which is preferred over v1 January, for example.

Does that make sense?

unexpectedpanda commented 3 years ago

Out of nowhere :P

Yep. Versions/revisions are much higher in my parent selection process than date, so makes sense to me :)

Ok, it's been a while but I'm finally gonna tackle this one this week
