Program options dialog page "Wine support"

This page will only be visible if the advanced setup mode is selected at the bottom of the program options dialog.

DFendX and DOSBox (Windows version) can run in a Wine environment under Linux. But DFendX can also be used together with a Linux version of DOSBox.

  • Enable Wine mode
    With this option you can enable or disable the whole Wine support in DFendX. If this option is disabled, all other setup option from this page are ignored.
    You can use the same DFendX installation in Windows and Wine (without changing the setup settings): By calling DFendX with a command line parameter including "WineMode" or "WineSupportEnabled" you can override the setting from the setup dialog and activate the Wine support. By calling D-Fend Reloaded with a command line parameter including "WindowsMode", "NoWineSupport" or "WineSupportDisabled" you can override the setting from the setup dialog and disable the Wine support. The parameters are case insensitive and you can also write a "-" or a "/" before them if you like to ("-winemode" for example will also be recognized).
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Remapping list
    In this list you can define to which Linux path names (/mnt/sta3, /mnt/stb1 etc.) the Wine drive letters (C: D: etc.) should be remapped when creating conf files.
  • Remap mount commands
    Will remap the commands for mounting drives in the conf file via the remapping list.
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Remap screenshot folder name
    Will remap the capture folder name in the conf file via the remapping list.
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Remap keymapper file
    Will remap the path to the keymapper file in the conf file via the remapping list.
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Remap DOSBox path
    Will remap path to the DOSBox program file when trying to run DOSBox.
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Switch link creation menu item to create Linux shell scripts
    If this option is activated the "Create link" menu option will create Linux shell scripts for running DOSBox with the selected game profile instead of creating a Windows link.
    (Default value for this option: off)
  • Shell script preamble
    When using the "Create link" function for creating Linux shell scripts this preamble will be inserted as the first line of the script.
    (Default value for this option: "#!/bin/bash")
