Localising the Gamelist

The gamelist can be localised using templates. To generate a template click on the Misc Menu, then Gamelist Language, Export gamelist translation template....

Save the template where you want and then open it in a text editor. The file is a tab-delimited text file, containing the games shortname and longname. Simply localise the longnames and save the file. If you are using multi-byte characters and need to use a different codepage than the system default, then uncomment the codepage line at the top of the file (remove the // ), and change the number to the relevant codepage.

To enable your localisation, click on the Misc Menu, then Gamelist Language, Select gamelist Language and then open your template.

To remove an applied template, click on the Misc Menu, then Gamelist Language, Reset gamelist default Language.

You can use MAME+ LST files for the template. Simply rename the file's extension to glt (eg, if the file is called mame_kr.lst, change it to mame_kr.glt), and add any necessary codepage definition if required. FB Alpha will ignore any extra text after the first two tab-delimited tokens.
