[Feature request]: Add an option that always sets the language setting to English when running an USA game

Open AnthonyRyuki opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the feature

While most USA games aren't affected by the console's language settings, some have weird effects if that setting is anything other than English.

For example, The Fairly OddParents: Shadow Showdown gives a "No string" error, as that game has dummy files in place of non-English language data, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes shows broken, if properly translated, text.

Interestingly, there are also USA games that are fully translated into non-English languages, such as Sonic Riders.

I guess we could filter to the languages marked as supported on Redump.

I believe that the Extrems solution is the most viable... update redump... forcing English may cause errors for users who use other languages by default... like spanish for example...
