Hello, if you tell me the adjustments you made to the control file I could implement them for the next release. Thanks and best regards, Frank

I was trying to make a "deb-get" script for installing this program and ran into this same error. It seems to happen because there are empty fields in the control file. I tried removing them and rebuilding the deb, then apt was able to install it without any problem. I know it's possible to use dpkg to install local files, but it's better to use apt, because apt will automatically handle installing any dependencies, but dpkg won't.

@fgerbig Yes, all working now. But, just for your information, the right click on a screenshot, with or without a image viewer defined, always uses the image viewer definition setting (meaning it never tries or uses the internal java image viewer, as it does on covers screenshots.

Hello, jGameBase uses the default location of the operating system for temporary directories. In Java this is the property "java.io.tmpdir". So you can start jgb with a different temporary directory like java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir= -jar jgamebase.jar e.g. java -Dpolyglot.js.nashorn-compat=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/frank/Schreibtisch/TEMPTEST -jar jgamebase.jar in the jGameBase directory. Hope that helps. Best regards, Frank

Thanks Frank. Tested the VIC20 and Atari ST gamebase and appears to be working. In the VIC20 GB Atarisoft cartridge extras don't work. There are two files inside the archive which get loaded into seperate memory locations. Looking in the terminal when the extra is run only one of the files is listed as a filetorun. but when you run with the play button both are listed as filestorun and allocated to the correct memory locations. Might be an issue with the script...I am going to play around with t...

Hello Psyko, You are using "apt", which is used to install packages from your distributions repository, but jGamebase is a package you manually downloaded. To install a local package use "dpkg": sudo dpkg -i jgamebase_0.71-2_all.deb Best regards, Frank

Ok, got everything working, the problem with images is fixed by using EXPLORER as the external picture viewer (for everyone having dificulties I leave here the solution). The windows "privileges" i'm still trying to understand.

Weirdest thing is that C64Lite gamebase, works perfectly! I can click on all screenshots and view them (covers/loading/in-game screens). When I load SpeccyMania_V4 (or any other gamebase) it just doesn't work, isn't that strange?

Hi @fgerbig Thanks for the swift answers, here's my feedback. 1) Didn't know that, but right clicking the loading/ingame screenshots with right button shows exactly the same error message. 2) Also guessed it might be that, in the meanwhile I'll trying to figure this out, since I'm the "administrator" account of this laptop.

Hi, 1) There are two ways to open a picture: - left mouse click starts an external viewer (which must have been configured via Menu "Tools -> Options..." under "Database -> Extra Options -> Program to open images") - right mouse click starts an internal viewer From the message "Could not open picture viewer ''" it seems that no external picture viewer was configured. 2) I would interpret the message "CreateProcess error=740, The operation needs elevation." as Windows way of saying that authorizations...

Also happend with V0.71-3. At first I assumed it might be something related to the database in use, but this happens with several other databaseses. It always happens after checking game files and before starting music files, so i'm assuming is something UI related?

Hi, You are right this is an exception in the GUI layer (AWT/Swing) of Java. I think you can ignore it. BTW I tested with jGB V0.71-3 on Java 16 and neither 'C64lite' nor 'SpeccyManiaV4' database showed an error. If the error bothers you, perhaps try a different Java version. Best regards, Frank

I think there is a mistake. I mean adding a new musician to the musician table, clicking the "New" button on the dialog box or editing his name clicking on the "Edit" button. Nothing happens if these buttons are click, except the "button pushed" effect. I tried to launch jgamebase in a terminal windows to see if some error appears, but here too, nothing happens. It seems that these buttons are inactive.

The dialog with the field for musician opens. I press the "..." button beside the musician and the "Select Musician..." dialog opens. There I select the musician and press "Edit".

This is using the Dragon GameBase. I tried selecting the Moonmist file in box 3 and then hit test game. The terminal output shows that initially fileToRun is set correctly however once it extracts it to the temp folder it changes the fileToRun to the first file...ENGINE.VDK. I believe this all happens prior to my script getting executed so I don't think it is an problem with my script.

The error was that the extracted files are absolute paths and the file_to_run is only the filename (so the file_to_run could never be found). At this point a fallback kicked in and selected the first suitable file found in the extracted files as file_to_run. Please find attached a new jar-file. Simply copy it over the existing...
