The idea here is that this is a machine setting and should be plainly visible every time a game is loaded. When region is buried in a settings submenu, people forget that they've left it in PAL mode. This has led to several false bug reports.

I wasn't able to get it to show up, but this is a start and a real coder can finish. It shows up, but something is still wrong.

Maybe we can also discuss the merits of having this setting force the region once it's moved to this more visible place. Old systems don't have internal data from which to glean the region, and many mega drive games have incorrect header information that throws off detection attempts. It is also currently impossible to see region error screens and easter eggs.
