Set NES to PAL/NTSC/Dendy via .mgl?

Unread post by chimaera »

I am using .mgl's as a shortcut to games.

Is it possible to set CPU/PPU to PAL or NTSC via an option in the .mgl so that I don't have to do it manually each time?

It is perhaps not exactly what you want, but you could use "setname" to give each region its own configuration files and game folder. For example:

Code: Select all

<mistergamedescription>
	<rbf>_Console/NES</rbf>
	<setname>NESPAL</setname>
	<file delay="1" type="f" index="0" path="Elite (Europe) (En,Fr,De).nes"/>
</mistergamedescription>

You would need to put your PAL games in a folder NESPAL and set the region in the core menu the first time you use it (and save settings).

As you say, it is not exactly what I would like.
I guess it is good enough though, thank you!
