What's the logic behind MESS parents/clones? What is the determining factor for a particular release (i.e. region) of a game to be considered the parent?
Filtering out SNES clones in my frontend results in a list of ROMs from mixed regions (Jpn, USA, Euro, ...). This is problematic for region-locked systems like the SNES, because most PAL games will refuse to run with the NTSC driver.
The issue is similar for the Genesis driver.
This means that I have to configure the driver to use (snes or snespal) on a per-ROM basis. (I use some automation based on the region tag from the ROM description).
Do you see a better solution for this?
