New Features

DOSBox-X, DOSBox Staging and DOSBox Pure Unleashed support

DFendX has first level support for these modern DOSBox forks. This includes:

• Inbuilt MT32 and SoundFont MIDI emulation configuration.
• VSync options.
• Inactive screen behaviour options.
• Ouput render, pixel shaders and preset selection.
• Full Glide/Voodoo support.
• More available machine types to choose from.

Modern Windows and Unicode support

DFendX is built using Delphi 13 RAD Studio, bringing native support for modern Windows and Unicode text support.

Direct MIDI interface support

DFendX no longer relies on DOSBox to enumerate MIDI ids, meaning it is faster to launch MIDI configured games.

eXoDOS

DFendX has direct support for eXoDOS as a source of metadata, media as well as the ability to add games from eXoDOS.

Ambient music autoplay

DFendX has the ability to play ambient music for the selected game profile if it has a soundtrack audio file associated with it.

Title image pane

There is now an option to dislay a selected title image for the current profile in a separate floating pane next to the main window. This can be used to display a game cover, screenshot or any other image.

Bug fixes and improvements

The modernization effort uncovered many bugs and issues which have been resolved.
