The "&" character in names seems to hang DOF2DMD #27

Description

@sic79

Have some games with "&" characters and DOF2DMD doesn't seem to like them. It just seems to hang the process, so unfortunately I got no crashlog.

Edit: Might be fuzzy match that don't like when trying to match artwork with a "&" character. I changed "&" to "and" on the artwork file for one of the game that hanged DOF2DMD and it worked.

Maybe fix troublesome characters in string with something like this example below:

string NormalizeString(string input) {
return input.ToLower().Replace("&", "and").Replace("-", " ").Replace("_", " ");
}

Edit2: It doesn't like platform names either with &, example "Nintendo Game & Watch".
