RegionCodeTable
From Sega Retro
It was after using this in a page (OutRun 2019) that I realised that actually, perhaps we can combine the region locking and PAL optimisation stuff together. Although I'm not sure how to do it cleanly.
The other thing, and it's only because I'm slightly strange, is that it might be... "nice" to actually show the lock-out screens somewhere.
e.g.
Because I bet there's some weird ones. Also I'd quite like to show how broken Super Skidmarks gets when you try and play it in an NTSC machine -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:49, 19 May 2018 (CDT)

aka will we ever find a game that does really weird stuff if it detects the wrong region, like the copy protection in Earthbound where it spawns more enemies?
