When loading a game from the Game Library
via higan's GUI,
you can force higan to emulate a particular regional variant
of the relevant console by
choosing a region code from the drop-down list
in the lower-right of the filesystem browser.

followed by actual filesystem path
to the game folder or ROM file to load.
