GB64 V3 crashes with long game names

Wed Aug 03, 2005 11:25 pm

Hi all,

Maybe this has been described in another post?

When I scroll through games in GB64 V3 the frontend crashes whenever a long game name is reached. It just freezes.
I'm running Win2000.
Anyone else notice this?

It sounds a bit like that old chestnut associated with long pathnames.
If it is, there is a work-around, see the following link:-

The solution is to move the games & screenshots to a level closer to a drive root, not under Program Files. Try something like C:\GB\Games\ and C:\GB\Screenshots\
There is no problem for moderately long names, like C:\Program Files\Commodore64\Games\p1\Paddington.T64

If you are just holding down the down arrow for scrolling, then that is a known error that has to do with GB getting ahead of the computer, looking for a DB value (i.e. a screenshot) that isn't yet processed.
