With the exception of pirates, very few people will have games from more than one region. As someone who pays for his games, it gets annoying having to select NTSC-U for each letter. Even if you were pro-piracy (I'm not saying you are), I imagine most pirates probably get games from their own region. It would be great if you could save the region, but I'm guessing that would take a lot more work than swapping the order around. --[[User:JoostinOnline|JoostinOnline]] 18:00, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

*Very true. Before now, I haven't really considered doing this. The reason for that is that there are a bunch of region variables- not just the 3 most common- E, J, and P. Defaulting to any of these will exclude the rest because I can't say with certainty that any of the less common are for a specific region. However, I COULD add an option for "Configure Regions" on the main menu (then save a tiny txt file for it).<br>
In that menu, I could essentially have 4 checkboxes:<br>
"Only show these regions in online lists"<br>
[] E NTSC-US<br>
[] P NTSC-PAL/EU<br>
[] J NTSC-JP<br>
[] All less common (recommended to leave this checked)<br>
<br>
And if none are checked, the normal page will come up to prompt.. I like this... How does it sound to you?<br>
And.. for the record: I'm anti-piracy. And I agree, unless you're a pirate (or the guy making the app that needs to make sure things are working form time to time), in most cases, prompting for region each time would probably be irritating.
I appreciate the feedback, JoostinOnline. If you like this idea, I'll get it in the next version (not counting bug releases). -[[User:James0x57|James0x57]] 16:34, 8 August 2011 (CEST)
