Since DOSBox builds started creating their own DOSBox.conf files in Users\ \Appdata things have gotten a bit confusing. Personally, I prefer to create a full DOSBox.conf in the folder of every DOSBox build, and DBGL doesn't seem to have ny problems with that. To do that, run every DOSBox.exe (or …

Cool! Thank you! (And let's hope they don't change that CONF section anytime soon)

Recently I've been trying to emulated the IBM Music Feature Card , a music synth that Sierra intended to use on its games before settling for the Roland MT-32. I thought the only DOSBox build that could emulate it was Scali's , but it seems DOSBox Staging is emulating it too on its last betas. With …

I'm afraid I can't make a proper report on the crashing issue. It was on my secondary DBGL instalation and eventually I decided to delete it and replace it with a new version. At least I can tell you what I experienced seems to me a very rare occurence, because I've used DBGL for years and never saw …

Yesterday I came across some problem with one of my installations of DBGL. I found that selecting a concrete profile on my gamelist froze DBGL, so I went to \CONFS and deleted it. However, the profile still appears on my gamelist and still freezes the program. How can I get rid of it?

You're welcome. If there's any test or anything I can do on my system in order to help, just say it.

I already "fixed" the Ñ profiles, changing the conflicting letter in the pathnames to N. However there are other cases, like any profiles with pathnames using accented vowels. Here are the original and modified profiles for "Capitán Trueno".

Sorry to insist on the issue, but I think there's been some kind of regression regarding the use of regional characters in folder names. I'm reviewing old profiles and they seem to work at first... but once they're updated said characters are modified and no longer work. Here's a list of my profiles …

I have a small suggestion for the DBGL search engine... I'm reviewing my games database and back in the day I marked many games with (Shareware) in the title, to reflect I wasn't sure they were full versions. However, when I make searches in MobyGames this results in many wrong results. So my …

Thanks for the answer. That FTL Sound Adapter sounds intriguing, I'll see whay I can find out about it. The technical side of things is not my cup of tea -can't differentiate a resistor from any other electronic piece- but I'm sure some other board members will find it interesting.

I'm afraid it's a known bug of the game, see the game entry at the compatibility list. My advice? Play that track in VGA mode, the bug only occurs in SVGA mode.

I think we can forget about my DOSBox-X issue, it seems that some builds of DOSBox-X are to blame and not DBGL. I've been also testing my other DBGL profiles with accents in the pathnames and all seem to work. I just found another problematic one, however: "Asterix: Operation Getafix". Either DOSBox …

Huh. It just opens DOSBox-X as it would without further instructions. No error messages, no mounting command, no nothing. EDIT: Tried with another DOSBox-X build, SLD1. It works now. No idea why.

Mmm... If I uncheck the "Close when exit" box in DBGL, that's exactly the same error I'm getting. Only that mine occurs inside DBGL as well. I've also been doing more testing on my DOSBox-X issue. Profiles using that build work on my regular install, but not on my backup one. The only difference I …

The folder name is indeed the same you show in your capture. I'm attaching the .conf file. I'm also noticing another issue... the same profile does work with plain DOSBox v.74-3, but won't work with DOSBox-X. It launches DOSBox-X, but it seems to ignore the lines at the [autoexec] section of the . …

For some reason, I'm always the last person to notice these things... I don't think DBGL is handling pathnames with some Spanish characters (such as accents) correctly.

Not a bug but something I noticed recently. When you export a game, DBGL aptly applies to the resulting file the extension .DBGL.ZIP. However, if you change the target folder / unit it no longer remembers to add the file extension. This renders the exported file impossible to import until you add …
