bug? - roms with apostrophe in filename

[mightypeniz]

I thought this might've been a MESS bug, but it seems to happen with any emulator... if you go to launch a rom with an apostrophe (' / single quote mark) in the filename, GameEx crashes (see attached logfile).

Aside from the crash, another symptom occurs when you pick one of those games out of the game list for whichever emulator - the "Add To Favourites" menu item (and it seems everything else, unless I was unlucky enough to only pick games which had no artwork files whatsoever) is gone - it just has "Play This Game".. when you go to play, thats when GameEx crashes out.

Anyone else able to test this?

Cheers,

Brett
