AmpShell v1.1.2.0 is released. AmpShell is a DOSBox front-end for Windows and GNU/Linux (runnable under GNU/Linux if the Mono librairies are installed). Since it's written in C#, it can run on virtually any machine having the .NET Framework installed. Windows Vista (or Windows Seven) machines have already the .NET Framework, and almost all Windows machines have it nowadays. For GNU/Linux (or even other OSes) users, the Mono librairies have to be installed. AmpShell has been successfully tested on Windows 98SE, Windows XP, Windows XP x64 Edition, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and GNU/Linux Ubuntu. It is free software licensed under the GNU GPL v3.
AmpShell v1.1.2.0 Changelog:
Code modifications :
- Bugfix : The Tile view works again. Regression since previous version (v1.1.1.0)
- Bugfix : The changes in the categories´ order (wich can be done in the preferences) are now made only if the "Save and apply" button is clicked.
- Code : Lots of code clean up everywhere.
GUI :
- Improved AmpShell´s icon : Displays OK in all the Windows´ Explorer view modes (tiles, list, details, small icons, large icons).
- Changed a few icons to use those already in use elsewhere. Changed the "run game" icon for a nicer (but close) one.
- Updated status bar messages when a game is selected to include setup executable path and mounting options.
Features :
- The size of the columns are now remembered for the detailed view of each category.
- Tools menu -> Edit default configuration button
- Way more portability :
-- DOSBox´s executable, a defaut configuration file, and a default DOSBox language file are always searched for in AmpShell´s directory. Was only done in v1.1.0.0 if they was no AmpShell.xml file already in the user´s ´Application Data´ directory.
-- Games´ files locations (_if they are in the same directory as AmpShell, eventually in a subdirectory_) are now independant of the portable media (ie. USB key, portable HDD, ...) mount point.
-- A ´Portable Mode´ in the Preferences makes the research of games´ files, ISOs, and DOSBox´ files in the same directory as AmpShell.
_In Portable Mode, ALL files MUST be in the same directory as AmpShell, or (eventually) in a subdirectory._
They are searched for when the Portable Mode has been activated, or when the user clicks on the ´Re-scan´ button.
- An AmpShell + DOSBox ´portable pack´ (AmpShell and DOSBox together, along with a default DOSBox configuration file, and a ´Games´ empty sub-directory) is now available on the website. The included DOSBox files are the Windows version.
