Hey Redump Community,
while rebuilding my NGC collection using the clrmamepro i noticed that 2 files always got an error, as i tried to rename it manualy i noticed that the filename in the redump dat file is too long and windows does not accept it.
Discs:
http://redump.org/disc/4730/
http://redump.org/disc/4731/
i hope somebody is going to solve this problem.
Edit:
2 more
http://redump.org/disc/4732/
http://redump.org/disc/4733/
Edit 2:
Actually thats not the problem of the long filename, its more the whole destination.
My NGC PAL Set is in the Dir
Y:\Redump_NGC_Pal\
with the release it would be
Y:\Redump_NGC_Pal\2 Games in 1 - Nickelodeon SpongeBob Schwammkopf - Der Film + Nickelodeon SpongeBob Schwammkopf - Schlacht um Bikini Bottom (Germany) (Disc 1)\2 Games in 1 - Nickelodeon SpongeBob Schwammkopf - Der Film + Nickelodeon SpongeBob Schwammkopf - Schlacht um Bikini Bottom (Germany) (Disc 1).iso
This is way to long for windows.
The Dirs create fine, but if i try to move the file to the dir i get this:
Translation to English:
The filename would be too long for its destinationdir, shorten the filename and retry or use another path which is shorter.
Any idea how this might be globaly solved?
Edit 3:
So i moved my whole collection up to Y:\
and removed the Redump_NGC_Pal dir.
http://redump.org/disc/4732/
http://redump.org/disc/4733/
work now.
But those 2 are still way to long for destination:
http://redump.org/disc/4730/
http://redump.org/disc/4731/
Suggestion:
How about trimming the Nickelodeon out of the title?
Edit 4:
So i googled a bit and noticed that the max. path is 256 chars.
so my suggestion would be:
256 - 4 (4 because of the .ext)
252 / 2 = 126
Max. Discname should be 126 (?)
(Scenario for Windows FS in the "root" dir (e.g. Y:\)
