Have you tried downloading a new converter? And what does the xml look like? (It may be a broken xml)

Can you please upload the file here directly? I'm on my phone right now and it's not letting me download it from MediaFire (it's generally better to avoid MediaFire anyway because they spam people with ads).

You should be able to upload it by renaming the file extension to .txt and dragging it here

I have a friend that was facing the same issue with some XMLs from the mod. Instead of just MarioLand.xml, he also reported that another XML was not working correctly with the converter. He sent me the affected XMLs and using a hex editor, I discovered that they have a really weird BOM that threw the XML parser off. Deleting it fixed the issue for both XML files.

Here are the fixed XMLs: Fixed-XMLs.zip

If you have any other weird XMLs, let me know.
