UPDATE LIST crashes GameEx

I've been scouring the forum all day but so far nothing works.

I decided to update Mame and my roms to 0.136. All got all the newest dat files too. (I think)

Now when I start GameEx and go Update my Mame list, it will make it just passed the Verifying and then crash Game Ex.

I erased most of the stuff in the Data folder but that did nothing. I turned off Verify Roms and that did nothing too.

After each crash I look at me Log file and it seems to crash mostly when Processing the ListInfo.dat.

I even did a reinstall of Gameex.

Any ideas?

Here's my latest log

run the update and sit back for about 30 min game ex seams to crash but that is not the case

No it does crash... it closes and the error box pops up saying it crashes. And after many more attempts it does do it every time when its dealing with Listinfo.dat Seems to be when it reaches 25%

Sorry I figured when I said "it crashed GameEx" people would assume I meant it crashed GameEx.

I'm still having this problem, is there any other way to update my list besides the command prompt cause that doesn't work either.

Thanks Again

So what you're saying is "it crashed GameEx"? LOL. ;)

I just did a successful update on my end so maybe we can rule some things out. Maybe try downloading GameEx again as it could be corrupted. Seems that the file is being created according to your log but I guess is crashing upon reading it.

What are the details of you trying to update from the command prompt?

Actually, there are 2 ways that GameEx can crash. One way is where GameEx detects a problem and pops up the error log with some note of the problem. The other way is when there is a serious problem that GameEx doesn't trap so it pops up a dialog box saying "Error..." and that's it.

Well I seem to have gotten around my Listinfo problem. I had to go back to an older version of Mame to get it to update and then reupdate the created files with the newer Mame afterwords. Guess something went wrong when I cleared out old temp files.

So thanks for the help guys. Also next time I promise to be extremely specific with how GameEx crashes. I would hate to be the one to confuse someone with something I SED
