   Just spotted this update & figured since it hasn't appeared in the forums for a while I ought to let people know it happened.

   There are also 7 demo packages available [programs, games, etc], as well as a portable version.

   D-Fend Reloaded

   DosBox Frontend Reloaded

   News

   Thursday, 09/29/2011
   D-Fend Reloaded 1.2 has been released.

   D-Fend Reloaded is a graphical environment for DOSBox. DOSBox emulates a complete computer including the DOS commandline and allows to run nearly all old DOS based games on modern hardware with any of the newer Windows versions.

   With DOSBox there is no need to worry about memory managers or free conventional RAM, but the setup of DOSBox is still a bit complicated. The configuration of DOSBox via textbased setup files might be difficult for beginners. D-Fend Reloaded may help and create these files for you. Additionally the D-Fend Reloaded installation package contains DOSBox (including all lanuage files currently available), so there is only one installation to be run and no need to link D-Fend Reloaded with DOSBox manually.

   Differences between D-Fend and D-Fend Reloaded

   In some way D-Fend Reloaded is a successor of the discontinued software D-Fend. Both environments look alike and D-Fend Reloaded contains all the features of D-Fend. Even the D-Fend config files are compatible with the current program. However, unlike D-Fend, D-Fend Reloaded is open source.

   The development objective for D-Fend Reloaded was (besides 100% D-Fend compability) to make the program operation more simple with respect to DOSBox beginners. Simultaneously more features for administration and configuration became available.

   D-Fend-Reloaded-1.2.0-Setup.exe (13.5 MB)
   This package contains D-Fend Reloaded 1.2.0 (Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese & Turkish), DOSBox 0.74 (including all currently avail language files) and the FreeDos commandline tools.

   you're quite welcome, but I happened upon it by accident. Somehow I missed the discussion of DOSbox GUI's and hadn't heard of it.

   I was browsing for updated freeware while the coffee was brewing and it sounded interesting.

   I did some checking when I finished getting it and the last mention the search box here gave me was a year ago- so I figured it was worth posting.

   I've been distracted (ok, overwhelmed) by stuff going on here at [and related to] home, so I haven't had time, energy, or brains left to participate in the forums. I hope that will change, but I'm still running under the gun.

   I though you'd been absent for some time Goodgotd. I hope all is okay with you. Your friendly and useful input has been missed. Regards
