ROM name contains a slash
« on: July 04, 2025, 04:19:54 AM »
Below are some of the dat files for Mega Drive created by FBN.

   <game name="mworld4eng2" cloneof="mworld4" romof="mworld4" sourcefile="megadrive/d_megadrive.cpp">
      <description>Monster World IV (USA, Europe) (English, Japanese) (Virtual Console)</description>
      <year>2012</year>
      <manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
      <rom name="Monster World IV EN/JP (USA, Europe)(Virtual Console)(2012)(Sega).bin" size="2097152" crc="af050c46"/>
      <video type="raster" orientation="horizontal" width="320" height="224" aspectx="4" aspecty="3"/>
      <driver status="good"/>
   </game>

"EN/JP"
Is it bad to have a slash in the ROM name?

Indeed, the ROM name does not comply with Windows file naming conventions.

Fixed.
