Fix to settings.conf: The fullresolution=0x0 setting (for automatically selecting the full screen resolution) is missing.

A neat hack is to define the valid list of fullresolution settings like this:

fullresolution=original 320x200<space>#<space>16:10 640x480<space>#<space>4:3 800x600<space>#<space>4:3 1024x768<space>#<space>4:3 1280x768<space>#<space>16:10 1280x960<space>#<space>4:3 1280x1024<space>#<space>5:4 1600x1200<space>#<space>4:3 1680x1050<space>#<space>16:10 1920x1200<space>#<space>16:10 0x0<space>#<space>auto

Noticed a small problem with the DBGL-generated profiles: They are in Unix text file format even when DBGL is run on a Windows machine. It would be nice if they were in DOS text format with a CR/LF pair instead of just a LF.

It's not a problem if Linux is you Primary OS. For me it is on my desktop, but because Windows handles the 'lid shut, go standby' on my old laptop better than Linux can (and believe me, I've tried) I'm sticking with M$ on my laptop.

Try using Notepad++, or similar 'Notepad Replacement' editor. It opens the files like you would expect notepad to for a dos text file. It doesn't have to be the default text editor, but you can right-click on the file, open with, Notepad++.

But most do not, so MiniMax has a valid point. Please, let's leave the platform zealotry out of this forum.

I'm sorry, that was not my intention. I use Windows as much as I do Linux. Because of that, I have to use editors in windows that view/edit unix based text files easily. I was just trying to provide help in that regard, and not belittle Windows users.

gVim FTW!

Just open it with wordpad save it then open it with notepad bing instant MS text format

i of course have my own custom made version of notepad that supports them all so dont have to do that anymore

Yeah but that's not the point here for the 2nd time.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, have been really busy at my newly-built house. Will take me at least 6 more weeks to make it livable and move over into my new home. Don't worry though; DBGL will progress, just need some time to settle..

Pictures of the house needed 😀

Hehe, somehow I just knew this question would come next 😁

Nice. Congratulations. You will be done indoor just in time to get the garden ready 😀

A few more feature requests for DBGL:

1) Split the settings.conf file into at least 2 files:

One with settings for DBGL only (gui,dosbox, communication, directory, and database) and one with the profile settings. The profile settings file could even be split into DOSBox-version specific files, so you would have a profile.settings-0.70, profile.settings-0.71, profile.settings-0.72, ...

2) Replace the single 'data' setting with individual settings for captures, dosroot, profiles, and templates. I want to be able to name my dosroot something else than 'dosroot' (I am fine with 'profiles' and 'templates' but someone else might to change those too). So something like

1[directory]
2dosroot=C:\My Documents\DOSBox games
3captures=C:\My Documents\DOSBox games\Captures
4profiles=C:\My Documents\DOSBox settings\Profile library
5templates=C:\My Documents\DOSBox settings\Template library

Strange, but on my new macbook DBGL crashes when I try to mount a image file, the entire SWT is just crashing and exiting the program ? Is there anyway around this as I ? Tried updating both DBGL and DOSbox.... running Leopard

Silly question folks:
I've tried wading through the thread, and I've done some searching, so I've covered the basics but I'm still a bit stuck.

Is there a 64 bit linux version of 0.62 anywhere to be found? I have 0.55 working (Ubuntu Hardy Heron) but just dropping in the new 0.62 dbgl.jar doesn't seem to work...

This?
DBGL Java error on Mandriva Spring 2008

Hmm. Tried following that thread. Now I'm getting a:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-gtk-3346 or swt-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

Oh well. I'll keep beetling at it...

I have a serious question. Everytime I tried to play a cd game of Stonekeep it always gives me this error:
Illegal command: D\data\sk.exe
How does one get it to recognize BAT files. Can someone refer me to that topic

Nevermind I fixed it.

HI
How can I or is it possible to reach directly the edit profile window for a specified game from commandline?.
