Great! Thanks for your contribution.
Is there any chance you'll release a Linux port? I'd love to use it on my Steam Deck or my PC.

Cheers! I have thought about Linux compatibility, and it would actually be a product of another change I have been thinking about, which would be a migration to the FPC (free pascal compiler) based IDE called Lazarus, which unlike Delphi, is inherently cross-platform. However, Delphi as a language/runtime/set of libraries is quite different to Pascal/FPC/Lazuras, so it would be a true port not a mere IDE switch. I'll add it to the TODO however😊

Awesome! I can't wait to try it out!

When the time comes, if you need it, I could help you test it.

I wanted to make a request: would it be possible to add a grid view mode? With the cover art for each game, Steam-style—everyone could upload their own images or even search for them on SteamGridDB.

I can't promise that that will be any time soon, but yes would love beta-testers!

And the feature you want already exists! View/Screenshots. So long as there is at least one image in the Capture folder (or is connected to eXoDOS), you will see a grid of screenshots instead of a list of icons.

Looks really cool!

I have never even heard of DFend (despite using DOSBox for over 20 years)... so... for clueless people like myself, can you just put a short blurb in the OP explaining what this is? You could even attach a screenshot to your first post. I know it's all at the github link, but it would probably help people just passing through the thread. I expected it to be a game port or something when I saw the thread title.

Good idea. Done!

Latest release (2.5.0):

- Restore program updates (manual/scheduled).
- Add Game Title profile metadata field.
- Improve performance of TheGamesDB lookups.
- Add support for soundcanvas (SC-55) for Staging.
- New Image Quality form in profile editor.
- New Staging options (mouse, drive speed/noise).
- [Fix] Don't pollute default template after profile edit.

Congratulations! nice to see dosbox staging soundcanvas SC 55 option!
