MAME Import Crashing App

[bjwest]

Hi,

I am trying to import a MAME romset from an extrernal HDD but it's crashing Launchbox on my NVIDIA Shield.

Is this a known issue? or do I need to try something different?

Thanks

We haven't heard of this crashing Android in a long time. Some older versions did have an issue with importing a full MAME set. I just ran a test on the latest version but all seems well, however the test involved an external SD card on a phone, and not an external HDD using the Nvidia Shield.

I'm guessing you are on the latest version of LaunchBox for Android.

There are a few different settings you can play around with during import. Maybe try and toggle on/off the "This is a Full MAME set" option and see if that changes anything for you.

It would also be nice to know exactly where in the process it's crashing for you. If you could map that out for us, that could be helpful.

We will also check our reporting system to see if we see the crash and if there's anything we can do about it for future releases (after the beta that we have queued up for sometime soon).

I have managed to successfully import MAME, where it shut down the app was I was trying to choose a path folder and it was putting strain on the HDD. 

The workaround I had was to select one path backwards and then choose the option to import games from folders within selected path.
