Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

I've added media to all of my arcade roms, and just a few of them don't work anymore. 

What happens: As soon as I click on the game in Launchbox, I'll get this error message

I already have removed the concerning roms completly from the database and also forced update game database, both didn't help at all. As soon as I am going to import the game again, I also get the same error, when I'm going to click on them.

Also it has nothing to do with the media, as If I am adding the fiel again (my to go game is btw robocop) and don't add any media, I get the same error.

Thanks for your help, because the concering few roms are some of the best and it would be sad, not being able to use them anymore

Update: It seems like the game doesn't get imported at all anymore. Even it shows up in Launchbox with picture and everything. But as soon as I close Launchbox completely and restart it, the game doesn't show up anymore in the database.

So there seems to be a bigger problem?

The error you were seeing was related to a bad change in the Games Database. I've manually corrected it and am rebuilding the XML files. To correct on your end do the following:

Open LaunchBox
Do NOT select a game
Go Tools > Download > Force Download Games Database (may not be the exact string)
Let it run and then you should be good to run like normal

I have this error. I also hid all the games with no front box art. What is troubling me now is BigBox isn't loading, all I see is "BigBox" logo on my desktop wallpaper, my CPU hits 60% (according to task manager), and BigBox freezes. Could these 2 issues be related?
