DOS Harddisk images don't work yet, right? I could run a few PC Booters, everything looks fine. Glad to have another PC emulator on the scene.

IA Launcher works with any version of DOSBox. It simply calls the dosbox command that's in your PATH . For a few games, however, it uses a custom DOSBox configuration file to get them to work using the -conf argument. I got a python error message on startup until I installed the last official …

That's pretty cool. I have a few requests and bug reports for your program: 1) The program only works if you have DOSBox v0.74-3 installed. Advanced users prefer SVN builds, with added features or not. You may prefer to stick to vanilla DOSBox, but I think an option to add your own path to DOSBox …

Neat! Didn't know about that.

The problem is that with DOSBox not directly emulating bottlenecks such as the slowness of video memory, there is no direct translation of release year/MHz to DOSBox cycles. Finding a good cycle value has to be done empirically; there is no MHz-to-cycles formula that is "accurate". Yes, I can …

Yes, although that method strikes me as inaccurate. I'd rather use figures based on something. Using this method, "RoboCop" seems playable at around 200-700 cycles. And "Test Drive II" at around... I'd be damned, 3000 cycles! I'd still like to hear other opinions, really. Even better if it's people …
Cycles settings for "RoboCop" and "Test Drive III"?
Posted on 2021-01-02, 20:39
OK, I imagine this has been asked before, but still... in my collection of DOS games that I run with DOSBox, there are two games that never seem to work properly, no matter what configuration I try with them. They're always either too slow or too fast. 1) RoboCop by Data East (EGA, 1989): https://i. …

That is still possible by adding mt32 in the 'generic' dynamic options in File->Preferences->Dynamic Options. These are shared by all DOSBox versions that are not using version-specific settings. However, I'd rather not add these kind of options to DBGL's defaults as it would likely lead to …

The only alternative I see is to enable it for all builds of DOSBox. What would happen if regular DOSBox gets the command midi=mt32? If it switches to default, that would be OK. If it doesn't or or as a result it doesn't play any MIDI, then it's out of the table. What do you think?
Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

In midi device, mt32 is not available. Dosbox-x support mt32 with the last version. With dosbox ece, mt32 is available. Is there any solution ? There is, just make sure you're using this latest DBGL beta build, and make sure you add the value 'mt32' in the DBGL DOSBox version-specific dynamic …

Using latest beta, I'm having trouble importing a games package made with DBGL v0.92. Not a fresh install, but... UPDATE: I tried with a fresh install, the program crashed when the actual importing was about to start. Mmmmm...

Found an untranslated item on 0.93beta5. I must have missed it when I revised the Spanish translation: https://i.imgur.com/txJiPFs.png Where it reads "Load settings" it should read "Cargar". EDIT: Also noticed this, if I press the "Load settings" button next to the PC configs while none is selected …

It's not that different to D-Fend Reloaded. If anything I appreciate that it is multi-platform and that the interface is less cluttered. But again, they both are built around the same program, DOSBox, so that implies the options and its usage are pretty similar.

And I can't reproduce my issue from a fresh install, so you shouldn't hold up the release because of me.

I wasn't deleting files directly this time, but using DBGL internal options. As I said, I may have made a mistake when upgrading.

Mmm... DBGL is it again with new profiles and their pics. After I delete the ones I don't want, this is what the profile looks like. I also may have updated the wrong way, by overwriting the whole program (not just dbjl.jar) with the new betas.
