Another UnicodeError... this happens when using non-ASCII characters. Working on it now.

[Wintermute0110]

I made a lot of changes in last commit to handle Unicode issues. Please try and report.

Ok. I'll test on my Windows 7 machine later tonight/tomorrow.

What am I testing for? Adding Roms/ online scrapping / JSON deletion bug? / Thanks

[Wintermute0110]

All things you have mentioned are related to Unicode errors. Yeah, try everything a bit and see if everything works as expected. Also, currently scraper in Edit ROM and Edit Launcher is broken.

Also, are you the guy adding the ROMs one by one? If so, try using the scanner. Adding ROMs one by one is intended only for testing purposes (for example, you want to try a ROM not in the launcher ROMs directory). If you get the Unicode errors then in Settings change the scanner policy to not to use scrapers. That should do the job.

Fixed, thanks.
