6.3.1 Crash when clicking on "index games" in "r-achievements settings" in main menu.

@getupor @tartifless I have found a file that is causing it to crash. There are others. Would you like this file or what information would you like from me? The file name is "gdc-0024c.chd". It seems there are many with this issue. All have .chd file extensions and are in their own individual folders

@getupor @tartifless. I have done some more testing, the file specified earlier ("that seemed to be crashing Retrobats index games (retroachievements) function also crashes emulator DEMUL (dreamcast emulator that have launched seperately to test the file). The question I know have is, I am 100% sure that there are more of these problematic files due to behavior I have seen at the start of this issue.

One of the problematic files is "gdc-0024c.chd". It is the japanese version of virtua fighter evolution. It is my understanding that these games run by looking at the chd file that is in its own folder but they also use a .zip file that has the same name as the .chd in order for them to run in DEMUL.

Does this seem like it would be a problem in anyway?

Do you all know of anyway to find these without testing them 1 by 1? It would be very time consuming. Whatever is wrong with a few of the files, they seem to crash multiple programs.

@tartifless @getupor. Thank you all for all of the help you have given me with tracking this issue down. Do you all have any ideas as to how I can find all of the corrupt files in my dreamcast game collections without having to go through and try to open them one at a time in the emulator to see if they run? We have also determined, this was the cause of the retroachievements game indexer crashing within retrobat.

The files in question are ".chd" in file extension. The names are as the following: "gdc-0024c.chd"; I believe they are named specifically like this for use in the demul emulator with the "naomi2.zip" bios

Thank you all for any thoughts/ guidance you have on this situation.

Sorry, can't help on this matter

@Aynshe Thank you for the idea! I will look into it and give it a try! I will report back here what I find.
