dbglcons might have given some more information about the problem (stacktrace).
Then I tried to clean up some of old DOSBox versions I had registered in the old database. But neither an old DOSBox 0.66rc3, nor the "Internal DOSBox CVS build, 2007-01-22" can be removed. I get an error from DBGL that says:
Database query 'remove dosboxversion' failed
What to do?
It means that the DOSBox version that you're trying to remove is associated to at least one profile and/or template. You should be able to remove the DB version once that association is removed.
Please add an Enable checkbox.
Uhh, maybe. Depends on the changes that QBix and Moe have in mind for the upcoming dosbox.conf file format.
...change the name of a configuration file?
..Is on my to-do list.
...a new Last Modified time-stamp
Will soon be fixed.
In the profiles listing, any chance of also showing the DOSBox version selected with the game?
File -> Adjust Settings -> Profile Table -> check 'DB ID'
...to avoid hitting the max-length on the command line
If you put the images below the dosroot, all images will be mounted relative to that location, thus shortening the length of the imgmount command considerably. Should be short enough to mount 4 images.
DBGL has no specific support for game installation, just game setup. You may want to use the setup field for first-time installation though, and change the profile after installation to load 'setsound.exe' or the like.
I don't see support for joysticktype=auto
Edit profile -> I/O -> Joystick -> Type select 'auto'. It may be that the (earlier) associated DOSBox version didn't have that option. In that case, the joysticktype selectbox may be disabled. Just press 'Set' or 'Reload' next to the choosen DOSBox version in the edit profile window, to re-enable the joystick type selector.
