Hello!

I would like to make a feature request to add a new region for games: Brazil (PAL-M).
Brazil had its own TV system, PAL-M, not very similar to European PAL though. Same frame rate as NTSC-U so conversion was simple. However without conversion NTSC games and movies would be displayed as black & white. For this reason, we had several versions of consoles and games launched specifically for Brazil, specially around 8-bit and 16-bit eras, sometimes even under a different name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL-M

Some examples:

http://segaretro.org/Halley_Wars (launched as Space Battle in Brazil)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_3D#Console_versions_and_add-ons (Sega Genesis port was launched only in Brazil)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare_Circus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Master_System_games (several games launched for the Brazilian system)

Thanks!
