I was using an older clrmamepro version back from 2017 and now, after I'm updated, no freeze or crash anymore.
However, still the following "incorrect" behaviour:
Case 1) zip archive/file: backtick in zip archive name is not accepted, filename inside archive is accepted.
Case 2) directory/file: backtick is neither accepted in the directory name nor in the filename.
Letting clrmamepro "fix" the cases (= replacing with an apostrophe) now works without any issues.
While you're right that it's grammatically not correct to use the backtick instead of the apostrophe, the background of my question/thread is that I want to create a datfile and I'd like to have the option to keep the original filenames from the respective authors.
However, it seems that this is not (completely) possible when it comes to a backtick sign?
PS: I'll attach a test datfile (as "*.dat.txt" as "*.dat" is not allowed) and a test archive so you may take a look yourself.

Hi people,
Am I'm doing something wrong or doesn't clrmamepro like the backtick sign?
The software automatically replaces (and "half-escapes") the character with an apostrophe (').
Example:
If I click on "Yes", clrmamepro isn't able to fix the filename "issue": (only folder name/archive name works)
When trying to fix "folder/file", the filename just stays the same and in case of "zip archive/file", clrmamepro never gets finished or even crashes.
Any explanations or ideas how to fix this behaviour?

Do you want to rename the following wrong named ROMs?
tim\s_book.pdf -> tim's_book.pdfIf I click on "Yes", clrmamepro isn't able to fix the filename "issue": (only folder name/archive name works)
