Gulthar, make sure you're using my first Aarch64 build if you want to try out DBGL on a ARM-based Mac. If you're getting an error like the one shown above, it might help to remove the ~/.swt directory, prior to launching DBGL.

Hmm, that's unfortunate. Can you please again open up a terminal to go inside the DBGL package and run it from there to see what the error message is?

I was able to remedy it thanks to dbglcons.cmd... The error message appears below, and I was able to delete the trailing space in database.script to resolve it! Turns out it was just my own computer! :D Nice find, will be fixed (thus, no longer crash when a file link contains a trailing space) in …

Just downloaded dbgl and its awesome! However I'm trying to get the Roland MT-32 emulation going under "Audio\Experimental Options" but everything is shaded out. Actually ALL sections shown as "Experimental Options" are shaded out and unusable. (Display, Machine, Etc) Any help on this one? The so- …

Hi frosty024, thanks for the report. Please start DBGL with the dbglcons.cmd startup script, which should display more debugging information. After reproducing the lockup, please share the output of this logging window, I'll probably be able to spot the problem.

FYI with the latest release it's possible to use DBGL without a full Java installation - just download the minimal JRE and extract into your DBGL folder.

Should work, though not all of DOSBox-X' experimental features can be configured in DBGL. Just let me know if you experience issues.

Thanks for reporting, Monotremata. Looks like you still have Java 8 installed on your system, and DBGL tries to launch using that (and fails). You can try uninstalling Java 8 from your system running these commands: sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin sudo rm -fr /Library …

Hi all, I've just released version 0.96 on the DBGL website. The latest changes include some more library updates and a German translation update. Enjoy! Please note (again) that this new release requires at least Java 11. Older Java versions will no longer work. If the problems mentioned by Neville …

Correct, this shouldn't matter. Maybe also uncheck "Close when exit" to see what's going on (or right-click on a problematic profile and choose 'Start manually' to see if the mounts are working).

Your .conf is working fine here, at least in DBGL. In DOSBox, on the other hand, things break like so: pajaros2.png I *think* this is a DOS or DOSBox limitation. AFAIK the dosbox configuration file should be encoded in UTF-8 (as is the default dosbox.conf), which it is. But if anyone more …

Strange, I cannot reproduce this problem: pajaros.png The dosbox profiles are stored using UTF-8 encoding, so that should be safe. I do happen to know that DOSBox rejects some characters as they are apparently invalid for DOS. Can you please reply with the copy-pasted name of this folder so I can …
