Title: Mgalaxy Crashing while browsing Mame (Solved)
Post by: balin453 on February 16, 2019, 10:02:05 AM

Like the title says, mgalaxy keeps crashing while browsing the Mame roms.  I do notice that it only happens in the AP section of the games list.  No issues above and below it.
I tried the suggestions in other threads without much luck. 

1. I removed all media paths and still experiance the crashing
2. It crashes no matter what theme I use.
3. I renamed the database file and had no problems then.
4.  I re-downloaded the database file using runway and changed nothing and mgalaxy crashed again.

So I've been playing around with this and decided to remove all the roms that started with AP.  I was then able to browse without the crash.  Next I began adding the removed roms back one at a time and restarting mgalaxy.  I found the offending rom.  It is "apple2".  Don't know whats wrong with it but when its not in the roms file I have no issues. 
So I guess I have it fixed for now.

Code: [Select]

  <game name="apple2" cloneof="" tgdbID="" hidden="False">
    <fileinfo extension="" MD5="" size="" />
    <description>Apple ][</description>
    <release>1977</release>
    <overview>Apple II (c) 1977 Apple Computer Co.</overview>
    <genre>Computer / Home System</genre>
    <players>Non-arcade</players>
  </game>
Nothing special, I have tried to copy/paste it in my database, still no problem, it was crashing when mgalaxy parse the gamelist, or when you was on the game. Perhps the thumbnail ?

It was crashing while browsing the mame roms in mgalaxy.  Perhaps the rom I have is corrupted.

Nope, mgalaxy don't read the rom, only the name and the screenshoot/video.
