D-Box 2.1 Released

September 29th, 2009

I have just released D-Box 2.1, my front end for DosBox. Take it for a ride!

D-Box 2.1

D-Box 2.1

It has, among many really usable features, a cool new look called “Floppy Flow”. Although it’s highly experimental, it’s worth trying:) Access it by pressing the Prefrences icon (the gear in the toolbar) and select “Flow View”.

Other new stuff:

  • New improved popup menu
  • Upgraded internal DOSBox to 0.73
  • You can change the application-list’s icon size in the preferences dialog
  • New expert mode: You can now change every single configuration that DOSBox provides using a new expert mode.
  • Only writes the application-list to disk when you quit the program -> Increased performance
  • D-Box caches icons for increased speed
  • Possible to drop folders. D-Box will search for correct files
  • Possible to drop multiple files or directories
  • Support for DVORAK keyboard layout (US only)
  • Possible to add a label to a CD-ROM drive
  • Double speed on game list reading
  • Changed keyboard acceleration key to run a game to Enter
  • Lot of refactoring and rewriting of rotten code

    Liker ikke helt at det legges en dbox.config i samme mappe som D-box.app… hva med å flytte den inn i bundelen på enelleraan måte?

    Det har du helt rett i, og det blir heldigvis fikset i neste versjon. Du kan teste en testbuild her: http://dbox.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=-3250415868316509203&name=dbox-theme.zip.

    For å få det til å bli en mac applikasjon så bare erstatt jar filen inne i .app folderen til versjon 2.1.
