Great release, a big thankyou and congratulations to the whole team!

Congrats! Haven't played with DOSBox much in the last year or two, but I plan to mess with 0.73 when I get a chance.

Awesome 😎

I really like how it used the swedish keyboard for me by default. But it was also a bit annoying cause I'm so used to use the US keyboard in DOSBox, but I will be used to it soon 😁

I also liked how the disc check in Daggerfall works now. No need to bypass it to play the game. Lovely.

Don't remember if it was an issue in 0.72, but the installer for Dark Forces was wonky in the past, but works nicely now.

Noticed that two issues from 0.72 still remains, Battlespire complain about too little RAM even with memsize=63 (but it works fine) and the sound in some games is still reversed (or did I maybe miss the swap option?)

Anyway, keep up the good work! 😁

Congratulations! 😎

Great work. My favorite improvement is that the colors in Pinball Fantasies are now 100% right with vgaonly.

Good stuff.
Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure installation no longer stalls when Sound Blaster 16 is selected.
Terminator: Skynet detects Future Shock.
Ripper and Elite: Frontier - First Encounters no longer need additional tweaking.

However, I did find that the installer for 7th Guest stalls at Readme.txt. It worked in 0.72.

And that logo screen will take some getting use to.

Is there an option to turn off the new logo screen?

You can download the DOSBox CVS, remove the logo code and compile.

Congratulations to Qbix, woody, harekiet and all people involved for the amazing job 😀

Nice!!! I wished I could just grab an edge, and resize at will.

I definitely gotta check this out:)

Amazing release and all!

But why does my DOSBox config file refuse to pop up in the DOSBox directory? It's always being outputted to a hidden directory in my "Documents and Settings". How do I fix this?

Thanks.

that is intentional in order to make dosbox work nicely on Vista and with more then one user on your system.
Just use the shortcut to edit it and it should be fine

If you have a dosbox.conf file in the same directory as the EXE file then it'll automatically use that one instead.

Awesome job, though! Daggerfall seems to run much more smoothly now!

Well actually the starting directory/cwd, but yes that is right. That is intentional for portable instalations and people who just like having the configfile there.

The "weird" loading is primary for new users. All old ways are still supported.

Thank You very much, great release.

Also many thanks for all your hard work on my favourite emulator. Congrats on the new release! (though until the end I thought we'd see a version 0.75 😀)

It's one of those annoying Vista guidelines. I don't want any config/program files in my user directory, I just want data in there. So it's great you're allowing us to just place an ini in the exe directory. One question though: If I do that before starting DOSBox for the first time, would it still create the ini in my user dir or not? Cause I really don't want it to be there, even if it's not used.

You can delete the .conf file from your profile but you'll need to edit the DOSBox shortcuts in the Start Menu to stop the creation of dosbox.conf in your profile.

While your deleting .conf file from your Profile you may also want to delete the hidden "AppData" directory in your profile as well. 😈 Since you just want "data" in there.....

What counts as data to you?
