Hiding (region) tag in display list?

Hi, is there any way to hide the (region) tag in the game list?
For example, to display "Donkey Kong Jr. (Japan)" as just "Donkey Kong Jr."
Thanks, Ozy

Actually that depends whether you're using a database file associated to your romset...or not!
If you don't use a database file, mGalaxy lists the roms as they are named and: no, you can't!!
If you're using a database: yes, you can!
It's just a matter of editing the 'xmlout.xml' file (the database file) and modifying the description tag.
Code: Select all
<game name="10yard" cloneof="">
<description>10-Yard Fight (World, set 1)</description>
<genre>Sports / Football Amer.</genre>
<players>2P alt</players>
</game>
You're not using a database file..but would like to do so to fix your problem?
- Download an already existing one there:
http://www.mgalaxy.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;cat=1
- Create your own one with the help of mGalaxy_Runway (sse picture > "Create database" button)
- Use an app called RomLister to generate your database (RomLister can output to mGalaxy database format!)
Don't forget to check the "Use database file.." checkbox in mGalaxy_Runway too!
Hope it'll help!!

Thank you for the helpful response mgalaxy! From this I tracked down a utility called ROMLister that can generate a database file without region tags (amongst other things).
It can be found here:
