Crash report: DBGL 0.96 crashing on Mobygames lookup for "Transylvania (Polarware), 1986". Seems to be an issue with loading the screenshot media:
Interesting one: the problematic screenshot in question is referred to as a gif (ancient-stump.gif) but in fact really is a .bmp. What's more, the .bmp appears to be invalid/broken (BITMAPINFOHEADER image size is 0 while the compression method being used is BI_RLE4) . DBGL no longer crashes on the problematic image, but SWT has a problem loading it, resulting in a black 320X200 box. I've submitted a bug report at SWT.

0.96 doesn't launch on Monterey 12.5.1 (Apple Silicon). Updated Java to the latest SDK, DBGL just bounces once in the dock and stops.
Correct, the current DBGL builds for Mac only supported x86_64. Unfortunately I do not have access to an Arm-based Mac myself, which makes supporting it rather tricky. Anyway, I've prepared a first Aarch64 build now which you can try for yourself.
Does anyone know if the latest official DOSBox Mac release also runs natively on 'Apple Silicon'? Or does it use Rosetta? Are there any SVN builds available for Arm-based Macs?

Is there any benefit in using the jre 17.0.4 package over the 11.0.15.1 ?
For the end-user, not really much of a difference. Differences are mostly to do with Java development. I would recommend jre17 simply because that is the most recent LTS release.
