Latest release, very minor patch release:
Version 2.6.4 (10/11/2026)
==========================
- DOSBox Pure SoundCanvas SC-55 support
- Wiki updates
- various UI tweaks
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before, but would it be possible to add support for using ZIP-compressed games (without unzipping them) in DOSBox Pure Unleashed?
Best regards.

Supporting the bare directories only was a decision I made early on, as it allows switching between different dosboxes for the same game easily, and is what the dosbox launcher in dfendx expects. I will note this for a possible future enhancement though. Cheers
Hi! I found a bug—now the images show up, but when I try to open a screenshot from a game by double-clicking it, nothing happens; it doesn't open in my default image viewer.
Just a reminder that I'm using the beta version of Linux, running AppImage on Arch Linux.

Hi, I have another Linux build to try: https://send.bitwarden.com/#TKW_h_2_nEWY37TmA … 892qrQ6J9i-6VXQ
I have fixed most of the UI layout issues in the Profile editor (many more remain in other parts of the application though).
Also, I have added an extra path for opening images when the default MIME handlers are not installed (tested in Lubuntu and Arch).
Let me know what else you find!
Hi! Honestly, I can't but congratulate you! You've done a great job!
So far, all the bugs I reported earlier have disappeared, and everything is working great.
A few minor details I found:
1) In the game profile editor, the icons don't appear above the “OK” , “Cancel” and “Help” buttons.
2) In the program settings (DFendX), under the “General” section, there’s an option that says “Start with Windows.” Since it now works practically perfectly on Linux, I think you could change it to “Start with the system” or something like that.
3) Could you add a view mode called “Covers” that displays the images vertically instead of horizontally? That way, the game boxes in our collection would appear slightly larger and more detailed, without wasting so much space on either side. It could also include an option to hide the text, since the title would already be on the box itself.
4) Perhaps you could implement automatic updates for the DFendX AppImage for Linux in the same way that the DuckStation app does.
5) When I right-click on a game's profile and select “View DOSBox conf files” or “Search game - The Games DB” for example, nothing happens.
That's all I've found so far. Aside from these minor errors and the occasional issue with margins or missing translations of certain words in the DFendX options menu, the program is almost ready to be officially released for Linux so that many more people can enjoy it.
Thanks again for all your hard work, and let's stay in touch! Best regards!!
