Issue importing IBM Redump DAT

[ColetteDiskette]

Back on getting things sorted again on my end (but still not back on my MAME mess because logistics) I'm having issues importing IBM - PC compatible - Datfile (51628) (2025-04-13 00-03-04).dat either manually downloaded from Redump or through oxyromon.

What it does is start the import, get to somewhere around 51600 (plus or minus maybe 30, variably) then hang. I've tried it multiple times, tried deleting the database in ~/.local/share/oxyromon, and even tried letting it sit with one CPU thread pegged at 100% (on my Ryzen 7 5700X) for over an hour and 15 minutes. All I can do is hit Ctrl+C to cancel the import here. Other DATs import fine, so I suspect perhaps the massive size of this DAT is causing an issue.

oxyromon info output:

Version: 0.20.2

Dependencies:
  7-zip: found (24.09)
  bchunk: not found

(The Systems/Games/Roms are 0 because of me deleting the database.)

Also, in case it somehow matters: Arch Linux, Linux 6.13.8-zen1-1-zen, KDE Plasma 6.3.4 (X11 session), Ryzen 7 5700X, Radeon RX 7600, 64GB RAM.

I should be getting back to the MAME business soonish and I can finally check that out. Feel bad for taking so long! Also, thanks! 😅

Thanks for the report! Took me longer to debug than I'd care to admit :/ Basically the DAT is borked, 3 games have a typo in their parents name WipEout with an uppercase E instead of lowercase, and this was causing an infinite loop. Taught me a good lesson to always have a catch-all break condition in my infinite loops.
