Hi rcblanke, have you dropped support for Windows 8.1 in the latest dbgl099rc1 build? I did a clean install and when I run it nothing happens. Dbgl098 final is still working. I'm currently using Java SE Dev Kit 21.02, so in regards to Java it should be compatible.

Thanks!

Thank you Neville!

PerryRhodan, no, as long as Java 17 or newer is installed, it should work. Do you get any interesting output when you try to run dbglcons.cmd in a terminal window?

Hi Rcblanke, I ran dbglcons and it's come up with the error, 'unable to access jarfile dbgl.jar'. I have no idea what's causing this as the file is in the DBGL directory. I've also updated Java runtimes and SDK to the latest versions.

Thanks!

Update: I tried the new DBGL update in Windows 11 and it worked straight away. I also tried it in Windows 7 and like Windows 8.1 it didn't work, so I can only presume that it no longer supports Windows 7 & 8.1.
Thanks!

I have a quick question regarding translations. I know that I must translate options, descriptions... but what about parameters? Like these ones:

Because I'd like to provide the most complete translation possible, but I wouldn't want to break anything or confuse users.

Ah, indeed it seems that Win7 and Win8 support has been dropped in the most recent SWT release. So that explains the problem you mentioned, PerryRhodan, thanks again for letting me know. Though it seems that folks are working on patching at least some support back in, see https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.p … m.swt/pull/1568 . Also, it should be perfectly fine to use lib/swtwin64.jar from DBGL0.98 in the upcoming DBGL0.99 if you really need to use Win7 or Win8.

Thank you Neville, I do not plan on having the parameters/values for the DOSBox settings translated. These values are stored directly in the profile .confs, and therefore I believe it would be best to keep them in English.
