I'm quite confident this is a bug. I mentioned it many months ago, but the post slipped through the cracks, I guess.

GameEx will crash and burn on files with Japanese characters in them. If I put a video with Japanese characters in it into any of my video directories GameEx will crash when I try to go into that particular folder (either with the regular Video option or the Media Library). Same holds for MP3s.

If I remove any files with Japanese characters (or rename them) everything will work fine.

I've tried 4 different computers with this -- it's repeatable on all.

I haven't tested, but I'm willing to wager that the same holds true for Roms with Japanese characters in the filename.

Of course I could get everything to work by just renaming all my files, but I'd really rather not -- most of my music is Japanese from my own CDs that I ripped myself which media player automatically labelled with the correct Japanese names. And besides -- there's a Japanese translation of GameEx -- which is pretty much worthless, if GameEx crashes on Japanese filenames.

I can send some sample Japanese files if you want to try to recreate the problem.

Also, a minor bug in the Movies Database. If I click cancel after doing a search, it will populate the fields with the results from the search -- basically the opposite of cancelling. :)

Also, a minor thing but somewhat annoying. GameEx pulled up an incorrect cover for one of my Doctor Who vids -- I deleted the cover in the GameEx folder, and set the vid to nothing in the Movies Database. After doing that, I pulled up GameEx and it redownloaded the same incorrect cover on its own. I deleted it again, but still GameEx stubbornly redownloads the thing every time. 2

Tom was away and I don't think he saw it. I posted about GameEx completely crashing whenever Japanese files are present several months ago and that post slipped through the cracks, so I just want to make sure this one doesn't.

I would suggest to send Tom an email if you do not feel your post is getting the attention it shoud. It could just be there is no solution currently.

remember to put Gameex in the subject line.
