I like parent/clone sets with 1g1r, but I've only now encountered an issue.
Using the No-Intro Nintendo DS set with USA as the top region, I get Mario Kart DS (Demo) as my only copy of the game. I was under the mistaken impression that USA/World was always set as the parent, but in this case, it seems to be the European version that is the parent.
According to this guy (https://github.com/andrebrait/1g1r-romset-generator), this is an issue with priority, where all types of the game are treated as equal.
So, would it be possible to de-prioritize non-full games? Something like give a priority -1 to any game that is tagged with demo, proto, beta? This maybe will ensure that the first full retail set in the region is identified as the preferred set?

No. The algorithm (which was done by Logiqx over a decade ago) does not take anything from the name/description into account. It's purely based on region/language attribute settings. However, you can modify the order of region/language in Settings and this increases/decreases priority (move up/move down). There you can also enable/disable regions/languages.

Is there a forum rule against referencing other tools? There exists a much better implementation of 1G1R sets from No-Intro and Redump, but it definitely requires (slightly) more effort in your workflow.
