Hi, I installed the new version, but a strange label appeared above the profiles list.. Is it normal?

Hi code120, I believe you have some leftover custom Italian translation files in the plugins/i18n folder. Simply remove that plugins directory (or rename it if you plan to keep the files).

Ok thanks, I didn't realize there was a new feature (custom tabs) 😀
I added a line in the translation file and it's ok now, thanks.
Bye !

Edit: could I know how to create a filter to display games of a certain publisher/developer please? Thanks in advance

To display all profiles with apogee as developer or publisher:

1UPPER(DEV.NAME) LIKE '%APOGEE%' OR UPPER(PUBL.NAME) LIKE '%APOGEE%'

Ok it worked fine, thanks 😀. Bye

Hi all,

Build 0.66d is up:

- Using the new MobyGames search method; unfortunately without publisher information since MG does not include it in the search-results anymore (for the moment).
- Tried to improve filtering a bit by showing realtime feedback on the amount of profiles found, and by preventing saving incorrect filtering conditions
- Fixing a regression in profile migration (invalid database operation)

All the latest files, to upgrade just grab the jar as usual.

Bye,
Ronald

Hi everybody,

I've just uploaded release 0.67 to the website, grab it while it's hot! No important changes since the last test build.

Regards,
Ronald

Happy holidays everybody, have a good time!

Just a short message to say that DBGL profile import/export is progressing steadily, I hope to finish a first test build in the coming days.

Regards,
Ronald

Hey rcblanke,

I've switched from Ubuntu to Arch Linux and installed the x86_64 version of Java and its development kit and I am getting this. What do you make of it:

1./dbgl: line 4: /opt/java/java: No such file or directory

Also I have alot of Linux Distros running via virtualbox, I would be happy to test the releases via multiple operating systems if you want.

Sinner, what's the output of
echo $JAVA_HOME
?
Is there a java symbolic link in the /opt/java directory?

Ah, yeah it needs a symbolic link,

1sudo ln -s /opt/java/bin/java /opt/java/java

Thanks

Hey Ronald, love the new version but whenever I use the Mobygames function, the entire thing locks up! Any idea why this would happen? I got an up-to-date Java version.

Hi red, did you think about putting the commons-lang-2.4.jar in the DBGL lib folder? If you did, maybe try running dbglcons.cmd to see if some error is logged.

Remember me? I'm in charge of the Spanish translation, and I've noticed a few new things showing up in English. If you remind me what files I need to edit I'll send you an update ASAP.

Thanks Neville, I think it would be best to start with updating the translations when the import/export functionality is somewhat feature-complete.
In case you really want to start now, just follow the instructions on my website.

Alright, if there are going to be more changes soon, I'd better wait.

I have another question / request: In the beta testing phorum we have found a persistent mouse issue that involves the early "Lemmings" games. One of the possible solutions is to use the option sdl_videodriver=windib , but I can't find it in DBGL.

Therefore, my question is if it's hidden somewhere I can't see it, and my request to include the option if it's not present in newer versions of the frontend.

Hi Neville,

as this is no plain DOSBox configuration option, it is not shown in the edit template/profile dialogs. Still, it is perfectly valid to add it to the environment settings:

File -> Adjust settings -> Environment -> add 'sdl_videodriver=windib'

That will enable windib for all profiles and all dosbox versions. The environment options can be checked by running dbglcons.cmd, for example:

1D:\DOSBox\DBGL\dosbox\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe -conf D:\DOSBox\DBGL\dosbox\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.conf {dosbox_dos_keyboardlayout=none, dosbox_render_aspect=true, dosbox_sdl_fullresolution=0x0, dosbox_sdl_output=openglnb}

By the way, may I repeat how great I find your DBGL 😜 It's everything I'd ever want in a front end!

I tried them all.. I give up. Could I know the instruction to make a filter for genres? It's hard to guess. Thanks 😀

I just noticed a strange thing: if I close DBGL when it's set on a filter tab and I open it again, it opens on that tab window, as I'd suppose it should do. But the mouse wheel isn't working. I have to shift to the 'All profiles' tab, then it works for all tabs again. Maybe I'm wrong?

It would be nice to be able to move tabs, changing their order on the bar like on browsers, and also to be able to delete the 'all profile' tab if there's at least another one.

A good year to everybody!
Bye

Ps: I forgot! some of my revamped screenshots, much smaller files this time and I opted for readability.
