It looks like Ziggo/Quicknet/Sonera/Multikabel is now indeed closing down these services.

Does anyone know why I am getting the message Couldn't open file "O:\DBGL\DOSBox-0.74-3\dosbox.conf" whenever I try and open a game or edit a profile? DBGL requires each configured DOSBox version to be able to load its defaults from dosbox.conf. Does the file at O:\DBGL\DOSBox-0.74-3\dosbox.conf …

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 …

I don't see how, Neville. Several years ago it was somewhat plausible to detect special DOSBox versions such as the ones from Gulikoza or Daum based on the available options in dosbox.conf, but with so many (rapidly changing) special DOSBox versions floating around these days (and having such a wide …

But most outdated settings ought to be fixed in beta8, so it should work better now. In midi device, mt32 is …

Odd thing; it looks like the screenshot height in px somehow got messed up. Please check File -> Preferences -> GUI options tab, 'Screenshots, Height' and choose a reasonable amount, such as 300px. Then restart DBGL to see if it resolves the issue. If not, please share the contents of your DBGL ' …

1) DOSBox-x uses a (afaik) non-standard output mode 'default'. Try setting it to opengl, seems to work for me; 2) add 'fluidsynth' to the possible [midi] devices values, and select it in your profile like so Filename step1.png File size 57.79 KiB Views 814 views Filename step2.png File size 86.99 …
