Cant open Launchbox at all, crashes with error

[techtony]

I was editing some XML files to move my rom paths and was opening and closing the app so maybe that has something to do with it. But either way I cant open the app at all now. Here is the error that pops up.

Any ideas?

Yeah you altered a date string to something that isn't a date. Search the xml for the string provided in the error and correct or remove it. Can also just remove the entire xml or restore a backup.

You should never really mess with the xml files, there is no reason to do so. Also there is a change rom path option in the UI.

That did it. I erased the wrong this in XML. Deleted that particular file and it launches fine now. Thanks.
