Includes the latest Dude's Cab Controller updates.

In addition, the installer now checks that UAC is enabled before proceeding. (UAC must be enabled when installing and using DOF, because disabling UAC changes some Windows internals in such a way that breaks DOF. Some people have run into this lately, apparently because some pin cab setup tutorials are still instructing people to turn off UAC, even though it's been many years since that has been seen as an acceptable workaround for running old software. When Windows Vista first came out, it was sometimes necessary to turn off UAC to run older programs that hadn't been updated to work in a UAC world, but software authors have had years and years to work out these issues. Running with UAC always disabled is simply not good practice these days; UAC is too integral a part of the operating system in modern Windows.)

v3.2 Beta 1 Pre-release
Pre-release

DOF now supports combined 32/64-bit installation, with automatic MSI setup, single-folder installation, and shared configuration files. This finally integrates the 64-bit version with your setup, so that you don't have to do any extra manual steps to fix up file locations or registry keys, and everything works from a single set of configuration files.

To install both versions together, just run BOTH the 32-bit and 64-bit MSI installers (one at a time, of course, but the order doesn't matter), and select the same install folder for both versions. Using the same folder allows them to share the configuration files, which you install in the normal locations. There's no need for multiple copies of the config files, shortcuts, or any other hacks; DOF just natively looks for the files in the shared install location now. (If for some reason you want the two versions to have separate config files, that's easy, too: just install the two versions in different folders.)

The trick that makes the shared setup work is that the binary files are now stored in x86 and x64 subfolders of the main DOF folder. The DOF software is fully aware of this new arrangement, so it knows to look for its config files in the shared parent install folder.

This release also includes updates for Dude's Cab Controller and Pin One, and a fix for a DOF bug that turned up with the latest Pinscape KL25Z firmware.
