Hey everyone ! I've recently downloaded Ice, and i made folders, changing the ROMS folder location within the confing file ^^ I configure all my emulators in the emulators.txt, and my consoles in consoles.txt, but when i launch ice.exe it gives me this error :

=========================Starting Ice Detected Emulator: VisualBoyAdvance Detected Emulator: Yabause Detected Emulator: higan Detected Emulator: Dolphin Detected Emulator: Nestopia Detected Emulator: ePSXe Detected Emulator: ZSNES Detected Emulator: Project64 Detected Emulator: PPSSPP Detected Emulator: PCSX2 Detected Console: Sega Saturn => Yabause Detected Console: Super Nintendo => ZSNES Detected Console: Playstation Portable => PPSSPP Detected Console: Nintendo Gameboy Color => VisualBoyAdvance Detected Console: Playstation 2 => PCSX2 Detected Console: Playstation 1 => ePSXe Detected Console: Nintendo Entertainment System => Nestopia Detected Console: Gameboy Advance => VisualBoyAdvance Detected Console: Famicom Disk System => Nestopia Detected Console: Nintendo Gamecube => Dolphin Detected Console: Nintendo 64 => Project64 Detected Console: Nintendo Wii => Dolphin Detected Console: Nintendo Gameboy => VisualBoyAdvance ---------------Running for user 325023667 #################################### An Error has occurred: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb4 in position 12: invalid start byte ####################################

Close the window, or hit enter to exit...

I don't know where can be this error... Do i have to link my consoles.txt and emulators.txt files ?

EDIT : Seing from an old topic "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/IceRM/discussions/0/540744474943039723/", it can be from the use of é or other accent in my roms names ! The problem is that i got lot and lot of roms, in French ( so with lot of accent letters ) , do i have to change everyone one of them ?

EDIT 1 : Yep, placing just one Iso ( Super Mario Sunshine ) in ROMS folders give me good results! I now have to replace every UTF8 characters, yeah ( it is going to be loooong ), does someone know a way to quickly erase UTF8 characters from lot of file ? ( as AntRenamer ?)
