Hi how many ram do you have ? Do you have enough free space on disk ? Which datafile are you using ?

[Mitchell Mebane]

I am having the same issue. Windows 10 x64, 16 GB RAM, plenty of HDD space. The datfile is No-Intro P/Clone XML Nintendo - Nintendo DS Parent-Clone (20170625-154101). I was renaming/merging a split, numbered Nintendo DS set.

Here's the console output: https://bitbucket.org/snippets/mitchellmebane/ezLxp

Thank you for your report. Can you post or send me (help at romcenter.com) the full log file located at C:\ProgramData\romcenter\romcenter.log ? I assume you're using beta 11, right?

[Mitchell Mebane]

I emailed you the log.

Yes, I was using beta 11. Also, in case it makes a difference, I had been using Advanced -> Rename Files.

I was able to fix most of my ROMs by omitting the parents and just fixing the clones. However, Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 would trigger the exception no matter what. I think it's a legit out of address space isue.

I converted RomCenter to 64-bit: 1. Convert RomCenter.exe and all the .NET DLLs to 64-bit using CorFlags.exe 2. Replace the 7z.dll and Firebird SQL DLLs with x64 versions 3. Delete the DLLs in the plugins\ folder

After doing that, I was able to fix Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, and they renamed and merged properly.

Patching RomCenter.exe to be large address space-aware also allowed it to work.

[Eric Bole-Feysot]

Thank you for the tests. I will look for large address space problem and try to reproduce the problem with Pokemon rom.

I tried to fix the 134 biggest nds roms (numbered with no-intro nds dat): no problems ! Max memory used: 1.5GB. Can you give me the exact name of your roms before the fix ? Does it crash when fixing only 1 rom ? 2roms? or more? Can you post the full log file after a fix ? Thanks

[Eric Bole-Feysot]

Ok. I can reproduce the pb. It occurs with several big roms in one zip. Roms have to be moved to raise the exception.

[Eric Bole-Feysot]

This is now fixed :)
