Audit Tool: Add Region Prioritization for Duplicate Filtering

📋 Summary

Enhance the Audit Tool with the ability to prioritize regions when identifying duplicate games. This would help users more effectively manage large ROM sets by automatically surfacing lower-priority versions for review or cleanup—supporting workflows like “One Game One ROM.”


🎯 Key Feature

Add a customizable region priority system to the Audit Tool that evaluates duplicates based on the user’s preferred order of regions.


🧪 How It Works

  • Users define their region priority (e.g. 1. North America, 2. Europe, 3. Japan).

  • When the audit identifies multiple ROMs of the same game:

    • The version from the highest-priority region is kept.

    • All others are marked as duplicates.

  • This enables smart filtering and cleanup without relying solely on file names or manual inspection.


📦 Benefits

  • Helps reduce clutter from multi-region sets.

  • Streamlines curation for users targeting minimal sets.

  • Saves space and simplifies library management.

  • Lays groundwork for similar prioritization systems (e.g. version, language) later on.
