Important Upgrade Notice:
v0.95 changes how DOSBox games are detected, and WILL break all current DOSBox configurations. This change was made to futureproof GBM, the old method of DOSBox detection was a hack and very prone to being broken by future changes to DOSBox or Windows.
There isn't a foolproof way to fix the configurations automatically on upgrade. They need to be manually repaired.
To repair a configuration, you'll need to delete the DOS executable part of the process field and make sure the case matches the DOSBox executable being used by the game.
For example, Capitalism Plus using a process of "dosbox:CAPPLUS" and DOSBox.exe would become just "DOSBox". You can use the new "Custom" filter to easily find and update all your DOSBox games in the Game Manager.
All available official configurations for DOSBox games will be updated and ready for the v0.95 stable release.
And finally, due to this change GBM can only detect DOS games that are using their own copy of DOSBox in a unique location. Most users will be unaffected, classic games sold online are already packaged in this format.
