Troubleshooting Audit All Games Feature

[samarmenfilms]

Basically I have old Rom sets that I set up on an old PC (Which I recently copied over to my new faster gaming PC) The original goal was to build launchbox with my old ROMs which I had previously used with Hyperspin.  I took a while and built it only to find out not everything would sync or work and my older PC couldn't handle the volume of what I had (I think it was at 70K+ games) So I built a new gaming PC more than capable of running everything.  I tried doing an audit all games from the old PC and then do control A, Control C, Then Pasting with control V in an excel document (So I have a reference point via excel with all of my old games on it)  When I did these steps on the older slower PC it would kind of buffer and say "Auditing Games Not Responding" then when I went to paste in excel it would say "Microsoft Excel Cannot Paste The Data".  Once my transfer to the new PC was complete I tried it on the newer fast PC and I had the same result.  I've watched these steps work via tutorial videos I've seen.  So what I'm wondering now is if there is a limit of game files where the data will not copy/export or paste into excel?  Any ideas on what I can do here?  The goal here is to export the old audit games list to excel, then install my new build with newer "sets" and then do an audit games export when finished and compare the 2 excel files to see if any of the old games do not exist in the newer build (So I can know what to copy over).  Images attached...........thanks in advance for the help

I'd assume clipboard DOES have a memory limit, but I'm not sure what it is. You could audit by platform then copy/paste and see if that corrects your issue for you.

Hi All, 

I've just recently come across this error and tried all sorts of things to try and get the data to paste into excel with no avail.

I do not know what has caused this to happen and why I now cannot paste the data from an audit into excel.

However after a lot of experimenting I have actually found a way round this so you can get your audit results into excel.

Ok, perform your audit as normal, they highlight all the item with control C and then Control V to copy as normal

Now open notepad and paste the results into notepad, then save the notepad file as a normal text file.

Then open Excel and import the txt file into excel and Hey presto, there is your audit data all in the correct columns.

Hopefully this error is a short term glitch and will be resolved soon.

But at least this way you can get your details into excel.

Hope this helps
