Dapplegrey v2.8.1 Released - Alastor - 03-29-2010

Dapplegrey is a a DOSBox front-end forMac OS X .

Changes :
• Supported DOSBox versions are still 0.65 up to 0.73
• Because of the compiler used to create Dapplegrey, its minimum system requirement meets the Mac OS X 10.4 operating system.
• If a game is stored on different path than given in preferences (Base drive c: path), Dapplegrey no longer tells DOSBox to mount this base drive c: path in second place, while game's drive c: path already has been mounted.
• The internal mount method used by Dapplegrey to imgmount stuff in DOSBox also mounts CD images correctly now, if their extension names are longer than 3 chars ('S2.toast' seen by DOSBox as 'S2~1.TOA'. Length of extension name doesn't matter in this case, but if extension name is longer than 3 chars, DOSBox sees it as 'S2~1.TOA' instead of simply 'S2.TOA'). Future versions of Dapplegrey may offer imgmounting full Mac path as option, which would be more compatible than trying to truncate the disk images filenames to match the DOS 8.3 naming conventions before imgmounting the disk image.
• Usually, Dapplegrey now tries to snip the Path to the imgmounted disk images, if user's name is within ('Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/username/documents/diskimages/s2.cdr'), the path will be snipped to '~/documents/diskimages/s2.cdr' now. In DOSBox, the shorter the path to be mounted, the better. Unfortunately, shorting doesn't work if the user adds a folder to imgmount its content. For disk images to be mounted, if a folder has been added instead of particular files, Dapplegrey tries to mount all disk images of that folder that match the disk drive type selected (floppy, hard disk, CD-ROM), independent of their name. For single disk images, Dapplegrey's new internal snipping method works fine.
• Dapplegrey is now disabling some stuff regarding to toolbox entries: Network settings and imgmount stuff has been disabled in order to simplify bugfixing some stuff. For some reasons, reading games list regarding toolbox entries mixed up some settings.
• If the user enables an additional drive in the toolbox entries, Dapplegrey remembers it now correct. For example, main reason to enable a drive C: to the 'Mah Jongg V-G-A' game by Ron Balewski included in the Dapplegrey toolbox is to enable the option to save a game.
