Indeed, there are some new lines: 242-243, 550-555, 818-821 and 867-868 .

Done.

Hi rcblanke, have you dropped support for Windows 8.1 in the latest dbgl099rc1 build? I did a clean install and when I run it nothing happens. Dbgl098 final is still working. I'm currently using Java SE Dev Kit 21.02, so in regards to Java it should be compatible.

Thanks!

Thank you Neville!

PerryRhodan, no, as long as Java 17 or newer is installed, it should work. Do you get any interesting output when you try to run dbglcons.cmd in a terminal window?

Hi Rcblanke, I ran dbglcons and it's come up with the error, 'unable to access jarfile dbgl.jar'. I have no idea what's causing this as the file is in the DBGL directory. I've also updated Java runtimes and SDK to the latest versions.

Thanks!

Update: I tried the new DBGL update in Windows 11 and it worked straight away. I also tried it in Windows 7 and like Windows 8.1 it didn't work, so I can only presume that it no longer supports Windows 7 & 8.1.
Thanks!

I have a quick question regarding translations. I know that I must translate options, descriptions... but what about parameters? Like these ones:

Because I'd like to provide the most complete translation possible, but I wouldn't want to break anything or confuse users.

Ah, indeed it seems that Win7 and Win8 support has been dropped in the most recent SWT release. So that explains the problem you mentioned, PerryRhodan, thanks again for letting me know. Though it seems that folks are working on patching at least some support back in, see https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.p … m.swt/pull/1568 . Also, it should be perfectly fine to use lib/swtwin64.jar from DBGL0.98 in the upcoming DBGL0.99 if you really need to use Win7 or Win8.

Thank you Neville, I do not plan on having the parameters/values for the DOSBox settings translated. These values are stored directly in the profile .confs, and therefore I believe it would be best to keep them in English.

Alright, then. One less issue to worry about.

Hi rcblanke, Most of my favourite apps, Launch Box 13.7, various emulators, Steam, Ubisoft, Epic Games, India Gala and Outlook have now dropped support for Windows 8.1. So now it looks like I have no choice but to use Windows 10 as my main OS from now on. Oh well, Sigh!!!!!

Thanks!

Just dropped by to say I installed the RC1 and wanted to give kudos to rcblanke - this is an amazing update to an incredible piece of software.

Thank you so much for all the work, making these gems more accessible for a new generation. This is priceless for preservation.

Thank you so much GabeCube!

I've just uploaded the second release candidate with some minor changes. When hovering over a configuration item in the profile editor, a small tooltip will now show the DOSBox configuration [section] & item associated with it. Also, I've added support for converting and importing eXoDemoScene.

And here's RC3 with support for eXoDOS V6r4 and the new media pack, and eXoDemoScene V1.1.
Unless any major new issues pop up, this will be the final RC build before the upcoming release.
