Hi,

when i add game and search Mobygames. it dosnt work. wrote nothing found on mobygames
anyone know wy`?

[rcblanke]

gbbs, you'll need either the 0.82c or .090beta4 builds for mobygames querying to work. However, I'll probably release both versions on the website tomorrow, so you may want to wait for that.

Hi all,

DBGL 0.83 (Java 7 + 8, 32-bit + 64-bit) and 0.90 (Java 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12, 64-bit) have just been released on the website. Thanks to all beta testers for your feedback and suggestions!

Regards,
Ronald

Great job! But unfortunately I found a couple of translation mistakes while reviewing my profiles. In my latest Spanish translation...

1) You neeed to change "conflictivos" to "que se van cambiar"

2) And "conprobar" to "comprobar"

This is it, I think

Thank you pantercat, your video and stacktrace are really helpful. Both the crashbug and the incorrect dosboxversion selection registration in the importer are fixed in 0.90beta4.

Also noticed duplicating profiles no longer prompts the user wether to duplicate pictures as well. Bug or intended behaviour?

[rcblanke]

@ANGO, the beta was removed because 0.90 is now officially available on the website. The Dutch text I cannot change unfortunately, it's there because of my hosting company.

@Neville, that is indeed intended behaviour. Thanks for the translation corrections!

Hi and thanks again ronald for your fresh updates on DBGL. Unfortunately I keep getting errors with your new update v0.90 dbgl.jar you have uploaded to your site. It's a header error in the zip files that I have repeatedly downloaded, and will not work when extracted over the last-previous alpha version I have operational in the DBGL directory. ("Using Java version 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12, 64-bit only" > http://members.quicknet.nl/blankendaalr ... jar090.zip) I haven't seen any other complaints - perhaps it is just me - my current test rig is a T61 laptop running Win10pro 64-bit,
Best Wishes

UPDATE: Just to confirm - I downloaded the latest dbgl090.zip and extracted its dbgl.jar - no header errors as before, but still not functional when replacing the previous jar from dbgl v0.90alpha7. I'm using java 8 update 221.

[rcblanke]

Hi arobbo, not sure what you mean with ".. still not functional when replacing the previous jar". Does dbgl not start at all? Or do you get an error upon dbgl startup? Maybe try starting dbgl with dbglcons.cmd from a cmd window to check if a stacktrace is dumped. In any case, make sure you have updated all .jar files in your dbgl/lib folder from dbgl090.zip.

[arobbo]

Hi ronald - I had forgotten completely about also replacing the dbgl/lib folder contents when using the jar from the dbgl090.zip - I'll try that now. I have the error output from the cmd terminal - will have to use the "reply" option rather than this "quick reply" for that

[arobbo]

...thank you for those pointers! Here's the output from dbglcons.cmd:

...and a screenie from 7zip's archive test option, below. Cheers again

SUCCESS! Replacing the dbgl/lib folder with the contents of /lib in the new dbgl090.zip folder (together with its dbgl.jar which was extracted earlier) now gives me the full DBGL 0.90 update. Thanks so much, ronald

P.S. Your 'Access' [XX] v5.02 dos shell still rocks on our families Toshiba 430CDS, dedicated to original DOS games in FreeDOS...

[rcblanke]

Awesome, also very nice to hear Access is still being used (after so many years)
