I could add a check if all games are found and then stop searching. I guess the current version will continue to the end of the synopsis file.
In earlier versions I first parsed the complete file and then checked against the roms. This was much faster and stopped when all games have been found. But it caused out of memory errors on xbox to hold the complete doc in memory. So I had to change this to game by game parsing.
I see, thanks for clearing that up - it makes perfect sense. I guess I'll just start using the online scrapers instead.
