MESS parents/clones
04/01/14 02:56 PM


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?
