Closed [BUG 3.20] Bug loading RomCenter from Mapped Drive

Post by mr_jrt »

Hi. I just fired up RomCenter to look at some old files. It's been awhile, so my current version was 2.71. This works fine.

I figured I should look for an update, and as expected I found v3.00 available, and a patch to 3.11. I tried both, but I am unable to start either of them as I get the message:

"Error
Unable to complete network request to host "server".
Failed to establish a connection.
The system cannot find the file specified."

I should point out that both versions of RomCenter are stored on a mapped network drive, but as said above, 2.71 works fine.

Hi

The problem is that I use an embedded database (Firebird) for storing all information and the database isn't happy being run from a network share (as I understand it's not possible even).
The solution is to copy romcenter folder and database files (*.rdt) in a local drive.
Note that you can't save a new database on a network drive as well.

One future solution would be to detect databases on network drive and copy them locally...
