EmuDOS for Linux v0.5.5

What's New

• Built-in game catalog — Popular DOS games are recognised on import and start the right program with known-good settings. The catalog updates itself with each release.
• Clearer imports — The status bar says whether a game was recognised and which program it runs, and titles are tidied from folder names.
• Folders of games — Drop a folder full of games and each one is imported on its own.
• Installers handled — After a game's installer runs, the next launch starts the installed game.
• Smarter guesses — When EmuDOS has to guess, it briefly tries the likeliest programs and skips any that drop straight back to DOS.
• Fullscreen — Alt+Enter toggles fullscreen without releasing the mouse, remembered per game.
• Automatic mouse lock — The mouse locks as soon as you move it in the game window; middle-click releases it.

What's Fixed

• Debian and Ubuntu — SDL3 (game audio and gamepads) and the CRT shader engine now ship with the app and load on Debian 12/13 and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04.
• Program picking — Installer helpers, repack launch scripts and Windows builds are no longer mistaken for the game, and multi-disc sets and cue/bin pairs import correctly.
• AUR updates — AUR installs are pointed to the package manager instead of being offered a .deb.
• Hotkey reset — Esc in a hotkey box now restores that key's own default.
