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)

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Retool is no longer maintained.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.
