Retool Filter: USA Region, Exclude all except for "Games"

1G1R is picking up a clone. "Virtual On - Cyber Troopers Net Link Edition (USA)" is the more recent version so it should be shown only and "Virtual On - Cyber Troopers (USA)" should be removed. Currently, both games are being shown on the list Retool outputs.

Evidence that the game is a clone: "[Virtual On - Cyber Troopers Net Link Edition (USA)] contains no changes other than netlink." Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/SegaSaturn/comments/hubj42/what_are_the_differences_between_the_netlink/

The "Net Link" version is the more recent of the two. The original has a build date of 1996-10-18 according to: http://redump.org/disc/20396/ The "Net Link" version has a build date of 1997-06-06 according to: http://redump.org/disc/51034/

Retool had correctly identified the other "Net Link Edition" games and removed the clones:

  • Daytona USA C.C.E. Net Link Edition (USA)
  • Sega Rally Championship Plus Netlink Edition (USA)
  • Missed or incorrect title (Europe) > Original title (USA) | https://www.wikipedia.org

Thanks

Retool is no longer maintained. This won't be updated.

I'm leaving this open should someone else choose to address this in the future.

Thanks @unexpectedpanda
