I'm having all kinds of problems generating databases with 3.20. Here is the typical error I encounter:
Bios mode : split
Sample mode : merged
Plugin : arcade.dll
Import datas
Database closed
**Error :Error during datutil conversion on command ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Romcenter\datutil.exe" -f genericxml -o "c:\users\XX\appdata\local\temp\rc_dat.xml" "C:\Users\XX\Downloads\Atari - 5200 (20081124_CM).dat"]
Ready
It does this with several datfiles using the latest obtained from No-Intro:

Try to manually run the dos command:
Create a new text file and copy the command in the first line, add a 'pause' commande on the second line.
Save as text.bat and run it.
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Romcenter\datutil.exe" -f genericxml -o "c:\users\XX\appdata\local\temp\rc_dat.xml" "C:\Users\XX\Downloads\Atari - 5200 (20081124_CM).dat"
pause

It appears to have worked for this dat but failed with the coleco and SuperGraphx Dats. Got an error saying the Datfile wasn't valid (yes, I did change the dat name in the .bat file.). Does this help you determine the cause I take it?

I need the log for the dat which failed. Run the bat file for coleco and post the result here. If the error occurs in datutil, I will tell logiqx to look at it.

If it was a datutil problem, wouldn't I also have the same problems using the newest datutil with RC 3.11? I rolled back to 3.11 last night, installed the new datutil (2.44) and it works perfect. If you need me to re-install 3.20 and perform some tests, let me know

Ok, thank you for reporting. It seems to be a rc problem. I will try and fix the problem.

I haven't encountered database creation problems, but I have noticed a couple of things: when using the newest no-intro dat for NES games (20090218) clrmame dat, it shows all roms as red because it is apparently not skipping headers when calculating the CRC and when generating from the RC dat, it will show all roms as corrupt.
