Hi people, A last few minor changes in this beta build: * German translation update (thanks Marcel) * Fallback to generic SWT ImageLoader if GifDecoder fails to load .gif file * Enlarge default max thumb size to 1920x1440, improved thumb scaling (dosdog) Unless I can somehow reproduce (and …

If you go to this website , you'll find a JRE zip . Unzipping the contents of this zip into the DBGL folder, allows for running DBGL without even installing Java. Just edit dbglcons.cmd and change its contents to: jdk8u252-b09-jre\bin\java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar dbgl.jar || pause Seems to work …

Epsilon, what OS are you on, and what Java version are you using?

You are right!, and it looks like it's fixed now. The gifs simply do not load, and don't crash the program. Regardless heres a sample of the files that previously caused crashing. https://anonymousfiles.io/qMqC3ZFK/ Strange, I've tried multiple systems (Windows, Fedora, Linux Mint) but I'm unable …

Thanks for the heads-up Epsilon. Apparently, some images (probably .gif) fail to load which crash DBGL. I've made a few changes to prevent this from happening and log a failed load, to hopefully find out what's going on. Can you please update to this new build and check which images fail to load? If …

...could someone explain to me the easiest way to pass on my old profile collection from the 91st version to this new 92 beta 12 version? Sure. Please be aware, though, that I will release a new non-beta on the main website, soon. Most often you can simply update an existing DBGL installation by …

First, would it be possible to add an option to change the background color of the screen or to put an image? (the white one hurts my eyes) The SWT gui engine supports application theming on MacOS and Linux, but not yet on Windows. It is being worked on, but there is not much I can do myself at …

Hi all, I've just uploaded beta12 with a couple of bugfixes for the new 'Scan directory for known games' feature, most importantly for Linux users. Also implemented is sorting of the results table by clicking on the column headers and inspection of the 'Detection score' when hovering over a score. …

And here is beta build no 11 with a first implementation of 'directory scanning for known games'. Currently, all files/games from the D-Fend Reloaded 'Auto setup templates' are recognized. You can access it using 'Profiles'->'Import known games in folder' and selecting the directory to scan. After a …

Here's another update with a rather big change - I've decided to update DBGL's database library ( HSQLDB ) from 1.8.1 to 2.5.0 to prepare for the upcoming 'scan directory for known games'-feature. This means that I *strongly* recommend you make a backup of the existing files in your DBGL/db folder …

Hi Rotaxt, Did you know that the OpenGL shader patch by ny00123 & jmarsh was recently accepted into SVN trunk? That feature can already be used in the latest DBGL builds (see this thread, two pages back). I've only tested DOSBox ECE with a few shaders and it seems to work. >>does dbgl generally …

Oh, nasty one, should be fixed now. Thanks everyone for the very constructive feedback! All the latest files To upgrade, get dbgl.jar as usual. Ronald

Well, I guess another factor is DPI -- on my 13" 4k laptop I kinda like the screenshot window to be large :) Anyway, I've added screenshotsmaxwidth and screenshotsmaxheight (defaulting to 1024x768) which you can tweak to your liking. Please let me know if this works for you. Also fixed a bug in the …

I'm having some strange issues with DBGL on Linux, using java 8 (openjdk). First of all, I upgraded from, I think 0.84, or 85 to 0.91. But DBGL cannot find any of the data now. It looks for a path that looks like /profiles\profilename and /captures\capturename, instead of /profiles/profilename and …

I believe File->Export->Create conf files should do what you need?!

Actually, you'll have to enable artwork fetching in File->Preferences->Web Information Archives.

Hi _Rob, Sorry, I forgot to mention in my last build update post that I'd updated a few libraries; please download the full zip package and take the jars from the lib directory and replace your existing commons-lang and commons-text with the new files. Ronald

Not really sure how a screenshot of my dosroot folder helps you, but you find it attached. Anyway, as I can see it, you have a couple of options: Rename the non-compliant folder names to the 8.3 name format, such as DUKE1, DUKE2, DUKE3D etc. and adjust your DBGL profiles accordingly (update 'Main', …
