Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)

I forgot to mention another issue I've been experiencing with DBGL. I may have mentioned before that I have several DBGL installations on my PC. One for playing, and another to test new games / apps I come across. This later install is the only one where I use DBGL betas. But I've also got another …

I've just uploaded beta5 with a toggle option in the preferences dialog, in which you can choose to use the 'old' file linking method (by file path), or the more modern method by using file:// URL. This should help with the issue reported by Neville, above. As to why file linking by using URLs does …

I found the issue for real this time!. Sierra games in particular like to install a game in a subfolder (BC, KQ1, ZELIARD, etc.) and place a batch file with the same name (BC.BAT, KQ1.BAT, ZELIARD.BAT) alongside that folder. When the game folder and a file with the same name exist alongside one …

Still having the issue with 0.96beta3 That's unfortunate. If you start DBGL with dbglcons.cmd, do you get any logged messages when there is a failure to open a folder? I'm noticing something in the last beta... linked documents no longer open their viewers / editors. I'0m talking PDF and JPG files. …

Thanks for trying out DBGL! 1. Right clicking on many of my games and choosing Open game folder causes a window to briefly pop up and then close. I haven't been able to determine why the game folder for some of my games opens fine, but doesn't on others. Odd thing, let me know if you find any …

Onward with 0.96 beta1, the first DBGL version to require at least Java 11 : Fixed issue where on some systems, non-relative profile links could be saved. Any such existing links will be corrected on first startup (arobbo) Stripped j7zip, effectively removing 7-zip support for GamePackArchives …

Hm, interesting question. What you could do, of course, is just to add the Mac DOSBox-Staging/X version in DBGL when running OSX. Then you can run your profiles by right-clicking and using "Run with.." and choose the Mac DOSBox version of your liking. However, it would be better if it were possible …

Thanks for answering Neville. I just wanted to add that DBGL stores these custom autoexec entries inside the profile's .conf file. Thus, one can always run the game with DOSBox without using DBGL (for example, using a desktop shortcut). Also, you can add/edit these custom entries multiple DBGL …

I would suggest being able to disable generating all those folders if desired and being able to use one central location for all captures. Ok, I guess if you don't care too much about the captures, having all these [ID] subdirectories can be unnecessary. I've made this configurable, like you …
