can't open some isos or add files... - PS3 NEWS

**ang** · 01-02-2006

trying to get talkman working, but for some reason i can't seem to either open the iso or drag and drop the already extracted files into the drop box.

i get the standard windows xp "UMD Image Generator has encountered a problem and needs to close."

here's what you get when you click the "for more information about this error" button:

AppName: umdgen.exe AppVer: 2.0.0.0 ModName: umdgen.exe
ModVer: 2.0.0.0 Offset: 00003607

i tried going through the (already extracted wiht winrar) talkman directories and adding files to see if they'd crash the prog. i was able to add almost all the files EXCEPT for a couple of folders that each contained > 4000 files. the folders were about 90 megs each. i was able to add them separately but any two of them added at the same time would crash the program.

all other isos seem to open fine. just my talkman jap and kor isos that don't...

any help would be appreciated!

I get the same error trying to open Yarudora Portable (Kisetsu). I tried some other iso files and they worked fine. Maybe it's the way some of the iso files are arranged?

UMDgen can't handle alot of files like talkman, i think it has about 20,000 files

Now I don't have specifics here.. so please no bashing for that, but i'll try to be as specific as possible.

UMDGen crashes for me: UMD Image Generator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (Debug or Close)

This happens when one of two things happens.

1) I load an ISO that has too many files in it.

2) I am creating an ISO, and I go over this 'file limit'

I'll get to work on getting a concrete # on the file limit, but it seems that games that have a large number of files, simply crash umdgen.

I believe this is due to a buffer issue somewhere, that the list boxes aren't prepared for that much data?.

I've seen numerous people complain on this site of crashing problems, (alot with Talkman, that game has tons of files), and I believe alot of them can be attributed to this bug.

Oh, and ISOs that crash umdgen on load, if I open them in MagicIso, extract out half the files, then delete that half from the iso, and open the iso in umdgen, it works fine. but as I try to drag/drop the other files back into the iso, it eventually crashes when it hits the 'file limit'

Please investigate, and I'm sure you can find more people to solidify this problem.

Actually only Talkman and maybe a few others (at most) have ~20,000 files. Unfortunately such images would even crash Nero probably, so I don't think a fix will be made to accomodate them in UMDGen anytime soon based on what the UMDGen guys told me awhile back.
