[Feature Request] Prefer region over language, if one language matches #289

Closed kwinsch closed 7 months ago

kwinsch commented 1 year ago

Describe the feature I was trying to achieve a multi-language 1g1r set with the following features:

To reproduce

  1. Re-order default english region settings to match NTSC regions over PAL. (NTSC: USA, Canada, Japan, ... / PAL: Europe, UK, ...)
  2. Add 2 languages of your choice starting with 'English', 'German'

To my understanding from the documentation and the selection made in some of my 1g1r dats, retool still selects sometimes a PAL ROM instead of a NTSC one, when it can satisfy both 'English' and 'German', making it impossible to create an NTSC priority set, with some PAL additions, where the game was only released in Europe.

Expected behavior Similar to the setting 'Prefer regions over languages', create a new setting like 'Prefer region over language, if one language matches'.

This would allow to create a clean 1g1r NTSC set for 'English', with some 'German' additions of games not released in North America.

Retool edition

Retool version 2.01.5

I can't promise I'll support this use case, but if you can provide me with some solid examples, I can look into it after I've addressed other priorities.

So basically: list titles that Retool selected with your settings, versus the titles you actually wanted from an existing DAT.
