Hi there. I keep getting the same error every time I try to run this:

Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:\Roms\PS1\Resources\gameInfo.db'.

I've reinstalled NET Runtime, both 6 and 7, and I have no idea where I'm doing something wrong.

@RealPhali .NET Runtime doesn't contain gameInfo.db.

gameInfo.db should be contained in psxpackager binary distribution.

Please tell me your working directory and where the psxpackager binary is and is there Resources/gameinfo.db at the same directory of psxpackager.

I have it saved at C:\Roms\ - and there is a "resources" folder, but the zip-file does not seem to contain a "gameInfo.db" file in any of the versions I've downloaded.

I checked official release and that doesn't contain gameInfo.db sadly.

❌: https://github.com/RupertAvery/PSXPackager/releases/tag/v1.6.1

Please try binaries downloading from GitHub Actions summary.

psxpackager-win-x64.zip and PsxPackagerGUI.zip should gameInfo.db.

Sorry for your incovinience.

Sorry Windows build in GitHub Actions does also not contain gameInfo.db.

I checked some Zip files containing gameInfo.db downloaded via GitHub Actions summary for UNIX Like OS Build.

How about use this gameInfo.db file?

And I'll check build process in Windows binaries packages.
