Hi, ... Alexander

I use your = D-Fend Reloaded, "v1.0 Release Candidate 2", D-Fend Reloaded PortableApps package".

I just see that you keep DosBox CVS configuration checkbox all disabled by default, but this is DosBox v0.74 final release, the v0.74 CVS build is included inside v0.74 final release.

Did you will make that v1.0 Final release, will keep DosBox CVS, option all disabled by default ?

You can made some CVS feature enabled by default or set all to enabled.

See screenshot, ...

Respond =

In clear =

The final DOSBox v0.74, include changes that came before the final v0.74.

Then, why inside "D-Fend Reloaded v1.0 Release Candidate 2", i have to go to CVS section, to select some options that are in the DOSBox final v0.74.

Before installing D-Fend reloaded, I would like to know two things:
1 - I need to run a DOS application which is not a game, e.g. paradox 4.5 DOS. Is that possible or is the application only for games?
2 - My application has to read from and write to several folders on my HDD. Is it possible to configure this correctly?
N.B. all this worked fine under Windows XP, bot I had to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
Regards and thanks for answering,
Hans

1) DOSBox (and therefore DFR) will run any DOS application, no matter wheter it is a game or not. However, its purpose is to run games, and you're more likely to run into a bug or an unsupported option running applications than games.

This said, most DOS applications I've tried work fine. You can even install and run Windows 3.1 and a lot of Windows software works fine.

2) Yes, if you set up the folders using the "mount" options. In short, DOSBox uses a Windows folder of your choice as "C:\" Inside you can create any additional folders the program may need.

As wd already said: The setup options which can be activated on this page are not useable with a regular DOSBox 0.74 build. Perhaps we should find some new name for this in the future; perhaps "DOSBox special build features".

All other problems: Fixed.

Planned release date for 1.0final: Friday.

This line comes from the autoexec section of the default profile. It's not a DFR program language string and therefore is not listed in the program language files.

D-Fend Reloaded 1.0 is out

About two and a half year after first announcing D-Fend Reloaded here and about three years after starting to work on it we have reached version 1.0. You can get the full and update installers here:

Of course you can also update your existing D-Fend Reloaded installations via the built-in updater (Help|Search for updates). More download options (PortableApps package, zip file, source, ...) can be found on the download page.

By now there have been over 400,000 downloads of D-Fend Reloaded from Sourceforge. Let's see when we will reach half a million.

Now I will just enjoy this sunny weekend before looking at any bug reports (that will probably arrive) and thinking of features for 1.1. Currently I haven't got any bigger ideas for version 1.1 but I'm sure we will find some still missing things.

For the moment: Have fun with the new version.

Thanks Alexander. I just recently started using D-Fend Reloaded a month ago. I had always did individual configs and started them with dosbox -conf previously, but decided to give your front end a try. I liked it a lot and got all of my DOS games set up to use it now. It's obvious that a lot of time and effort went into creating it and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work on it.

Doh, I'm still getting DFend.exe crashing when I try to run it, even after totally removing older version and a full install of 1.0. I still get the same error message from Windows XP (the very helpful "DFend.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."). I could send you the fully detailed error report if it will help.

Hi! I have this problem - when I use D-fend Reloaded 1.0 with some game and it goes fullscreen, after exiting my Wi-Fi is not working. I have to restart the computer... Sorry for shallow description but I don't know details. Could be this problem of D-Fend or Dosbox?
