Game And Watch: uncaught exception prevents skipping errors

[timotheeg]

Describe the bug I've downloaded roms and artwork for game and watch stuff, but it seems I might not have retrieved the correct files (how do I know? 😢)

So when I run Generate Game and Watch ROMS, an error occured and the process just stops. I know some of the assets are correct because 2 are processed successfully before it stops, but the program is not attempting all. It stops on first error.

To Reproduce I'm not sure if I can link to where I got the roms and artwork files (Let me know). Just for generic info, I grabbed the roms from mame 0.217 set on archive.org, and the artworks from a publicly shared google drive folder

At any rate, I followed the instructions, and then from the menu I selected [6] Generate Game and Watch ROMS

Expected behavior Skip errors Process all that can be processed Report errors last

Bonus: Provide instructions on how to identify "good" rom and artwork files.

Screenshots No screenshot, but this is the output I got:

Never mind 😑 , I think I messed up my copy command and the artwork files ended up overwriting the rom files 🤦 . With that sorted out, The generation worked fine!

[mattpannella]

glad you figured it out.
