[Feature] Enhanced tagging (region/language/custom)

[XargonWan]

I am theorizing a better way to manage the tags.

Region and Languages

Basically now the tags are took in a non standard way, usually the dumps come with (rev a)(eu)(it, en, de, fr, spa) for example.
Now RomM can only recognize the region via specific tags like (reg-USA), however this is non-standard.

A (possibly) comprehensive list of languages and regions.

Languages

E/EN/ENG
I/IT/ITA
J/JP*
S/SP/SPA
G/GER
F/FR/FRA
C/CH/CHN*

Regions

E/EU
J/JP*
C/CH/CHN*
H/HK
G/W/GLOBAL/WORLD
ASIA
U/US/USA
B/BRA
AU
UK

• * means that is both a language and a region

FYI: avoid "JAP" as it's racist.

Emoji

Then it would be cool to give the user the option to show the region flags, options: eu, 🇪🇺, 🇪🇺 eu

Custom tags

Moreover it would be useful that if a tag is not recognized it will be treated as a custom tag, for example: Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare 1995 (hello).dosz would be tagged as hello.

It already supports extracting text wrapped in () or [] as tags, check the code in /backend/utils/init.py. Let me know if we're missing any regions from the list.

We don't currently scan for the language, but the code is there to start doing so. I will implement the change to use emojis instead of text for regions!

BTW some of the regions you listed are incorrect, for instance H is Holland, C is Canada, etc.

is thre any way of removing the flags from the covers? they often cover the whole artwork and it's not very elegant

[gantoine]

Not at the moment, but you can use the large format of the covers which will display more art.

ah ok, that's a shame. would be nice to have a simple toggle on/off to remove them, especially when viewing on a small laptop screen or phone
