How to reach it

 

The Tag Parser Settings show up after tags from filenames have been detected. You do this either:

 

by adding games
by performing a rescan

 

in the Rom Manager.

 

How it works

 

Any found tag may result in meta data for the game providing that tag. For example the tag (En,De) means the game has English and German language support or the tag (1994) denotes the release year.

 

The list on the left shows all tags that have been found after the detection.

 

Metropolis Launcher saves previously found tags including their properties for later use. If the current scan contains new found tags, they will be highlighted in bold font. Use the checkbox Only show newly detected tags to filter the list accordingly.

 

You can select single tags and edit the respective properties on the right.

 

The Properties consist of:

 

Tag first found in                The name of the first file/directory which contained the tag
Additional Note                Write in here an additional information that the tag provides. An additional note will always be shown alongside the game's name in the Games & Emulation Main Screen.
Release Info                        Tick any checkbox in this category if the tag represents this meta data.
Regions                        Tick any checkbox in this category if the tag represents regional information.
Languages                        Tick any checkbox in this category if the tag represents language support.
