Naming convention
Since it is important to know exactly what version of the game you play, I've decided to go for the following naming convention:
Game Name (Country, Version) [bl/hb].
Country should follow the Alpha-2 country code.
bl means Bootleg
hb means Homebrew
Preferred version
As you might've noticed, there are different versions/clones of the same game. Sometimes the preferred version is documented, and sometimes it is not. Basic rule of thumb is the following (from MAME doc):
- Prefer latest release version
- Prefer English language
- Prefer most widespread release
- Prefer most complete version
- Prefer versions that are uncensored, and have story/cutscenes intact
- Prefer versions that keep the original gameplay balance
- Prefer releases from original developers/publishers rather than licensees
- Prefer releases without region-specific notices or warnings
