I also ended using 86box over PCEm for the better interface, but v17 brings optimizations that make it run much faster, and don't seem to be applied on current 86box builds. On my PC 86box can run POD on Windows 98 without CD music skipping on a P166MMX... PCEm v17 can do it on a P233MMX. Same with …

Glide2x.ovl version shouldn't matter afaik in Carmageddon. You have probably installed the wrong patch (or something else is wrong with your system). Sems version DOES matter. I had this same problem on 86Box emulator (PCEm fork). First I thought it was a problem on the voodoo 2 emulation, but as I …

Hi, just finished converting and importing both eXoDOS and Win3xO collections. I first tried 64GB packages to find the upper limit for my system, and failed when importing, few last games were skipped. Then I tried with 48GB packages and everything went ok. I have 8GB RAM on my Windows 10 system but …

Hi mgtroyas, You're welcome :) 1) Use the parameter -s:sizeInMB for the convertor, for example (for 32GB packages) convert.cmd C:\eXoDOS\ C:\DBGL\ -s:32768 But please keep in mind that dealing with packages of these sizes can be quite troublesome, and might lead to performance issues on various …

Hello, first of all thank you very much for your hard work, supporting and enhancing it over the time is much appreciated. I finally discovered how to use DBGL to convert eXo's eXoDOS and Win3xO collections to DBGL game packages, but by default it creates archives of about 16GB, then I have to …

Seems DBGL can't find the executable... until I open the folder on Windows explorer an then Windows is aware of it! Don't think it's a DBGL Problem, but it's really strange. It's a new DOSBox version I just installed, not ykhwong's one. I need some sleep now. Launching DBGL using 32-Bit VM 1.7.0_05 …

with 5000 games in the list, DBGL spends a couple of minutes loading when running from a network drive. Instead of loading all the images in the list, some kind of dynamic loading while scrolling would be great. At first, this confused me a bit since delayed image loading is exactly what DBGL does; …
