mGalaxy crashes when loading DB from Gamebase -> RomLister

Hello,

I'm trying to use my GameBase collections on mGalaxy. I'm starting with the Amiga Gamebase. The process is explained in this URL:
http://www.bu22.com/wiki/exporting_game ... _frontends

With RomLister I've created an XML file that should map the game filenames with their real names. I'm attaching it. But if I import it on mGalaxy and activate "use DB file (if available)", then when I select the Amiga system mGalaxy crashes. If I don't use the XML it doesn't crash (but shows only filenames).

There are about 2500 games so I tried filtering an smaller XML, but it also crashes, so doesn't look as a size problem. Perhaps invalid characters on file names?

Could somebody test this XML and deduce why it's crashing?

EDIT: I just found the problem. There are multiple entries on Gamebase associated to the same game file, using different hardware parameters. So it generates a collision on the game list. I'll see the best way to avoid this...
