hello!

hope you can help me. i just discovered that amazing little prog "dosbox game launcher" - this tool
is compatible to the dosbox svn-version which i prefer due to these nice pixelshaders.

My question is - how is it possible to get these nice screenshots in DBGL?
When scrolling through the gamelist it looks terrific to see these nice screenshots before starting the game.

Is it possible to import these tiny screenshots from any online games database?
When creating the above mentioned WC-Profile in DBGL in can choose WC via Moby Games but no Box Art or Screenshot
will be imported, only a small game description...

With FS-UAE for example it works perfectly this way from OGDB with Cover Art and Screenshots of the game.

Is there also a way to do with DBGL?

A dream would be to see the box art of the game and next to it some in-game shots 😀

Thanks and best regards

Hi rotaxt,

You can simply go to File -> Preferences, select the 'Web information archives' tab and enable 'Choose cover art' and 'Choose screenshots'. This will allow you to also import images from mobygames:

The attachment prefs.png is no longer available
The attachment moby.png is no longer available

Also note that you can take screenshots in DOSBox with ctrl-f5, which will show up in DBGL automatically.
