Game languages taken away? #213

Closed pirsir76 closed 3 years ago

Hello Zach,

I noticed in the latest IAGL when I view the games, it no longer tells me which language they are in. I have to download a few of them now or else I might get the Japanese version.

It would be a lot better, if it was like before, when I was viewing the games on the list, it always states which region/language the game is for.

If you mean the language thats listed in the game name, thats still there.

Change the 'Clean Game Titles' option in addon settings (note the little help message at the bottom of the window):

Then after you do this you need to reset the cached game list names. To do that, you can:

Any one of those will reset the naming. I'll update the wiki to clarify how to reset the game list after you update certain settings. I also notice that this is still defaulted to ON. With the new / updated game lists which usually contain pretty much every game from the archive, it may make sense to make this OFF by default.

In addition, you can group games by Tag, and choose a specific Language or Country that you're interested in:

Depending on the source game files (which are usually redump or no-intro based), the tags separate the games nicely.

I tried un-checking "Clean Game Title" and then in advance settings did 'Clear All Cache'. And it worked thanks.

My suggestion is to make it the default so that you can see which language the games are in. I play many systems through IAGL and it comes in real handy to know the region/language of the games.

Thanks Zach!

Agreed. I did, and it'll be in the next release
