Added SSE2 Detection
I added SSE2 detection to the launcher using a few lines of custom code and a Windows API call. So it will correctly use the legacy versions on older CPUs.
THANKS!
Thanks for the SSE2 detection! and the continuous updates! I hope everything in the Sandy affected areas are getting better!
Thanks,

Thanks! I'll have a look at
Thanks! I'll have a look at the custom code this evening and learn.
Beta version
I was on the website for this game and i saw that they have a beta of 84.2 and i was wondering if you would be able to package that in the app store as a separate download for those of us (including me) who prefer to have betas and developers builds to have the latest features
Manual
We have limited resources and only do betas for apps where there's a genuine need for it (like browsers or email clients to test upcoming features and extension compatibility) or major apps that are doing a big new release that could use more testers (GIMP for instance). Doing betas of games falls outside that realm. You're welcome to download their beta build and drop it into the PowderToyPortable's App directory. Or you could copy it to a new instance called PowderToyPortableBeta so our updater won't accidentally update it back to stable.
Packaging
I'm going to have to read how to package programs as portable apps because I don't know how to do that but if i figure it out I will definitely try that thank you
No Need
You don't need to package it yourself. Just download the beta zip, unzip it, and place the right bits in the PowderToyPortable\App\PowderToy directory.
i saw that
after i said that i downloaded it and saw how it was so i put it in its own folder now i have both thank you
