seems to work under vista
I've just had a few minutes to play around with it (actually only got to try out the tutorial) on vista ultimate sp1. I got a runtime error the first time I completed the tutorial, but I wasn't able to duplicate it so I'm assuming it was just a momentary hick-up that was caused by coming out of standby mode. It doesn't leave anything obvious behind either.
The only minor thing I noticed is that the splash screen is still the development test splash.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
o my god!!!!!!!!!!
how could i forget?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Edit: Fixed...wrong link sorry...
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
no problem
I've tried the one you've just linked to on vista ultimate sp1, and it works well and leaves nothing behind either.
I've also tried it on windows xp sp3 and windows 98 se. Because I have both of those operating systems running through Microsoft Virtual PC they ran a little sluggish but didn't give any errors and left nothing obvious behind
Out of bordom I also tried launching it with my windows 95 virtual machine. For what it's worth it crashed on launch and this is what I got out of the error log:

Please search before posting. ~Thanks
Ok

Administrator rights
Note: This isn't the first program that wont work on my PC. Toad's Tool and the PA updater always give me errors.
Gosh,
I guess this thing's been a dev test for so long, you put Development Test 1 in the Release notes. :P
Unfortunately, I don't have a plug-in keyboard (all laptops), so I can't test.
But I'm glad this project's finally a clean app, it's been so long...
Somebody give me a portable video editor... Please!
If ya wanna see my email, go to digitxpsemail.tk (at least for now!)
My dad saved over $850 a month, by switching to Geico! :P
?
Why can't you just use the laptop's keyboard?
because
because you can't hold it like a guitar. with a normal keyboard you can use the F1-F5 keys and the enter key and it's like a guitar controller.
lol, i still wanna see
lol, i still wanna see someone try that. :P

Hi, I tried adding a folder
Hi, I tried adding a folder with songs into Data\settings\songs and they did not show up. It worked when placing the folder with one song in the Data\settings\songs folder. Are there limitations to the folder structure?
Sometimes I get an in game error "The system cannot find the path specified: 'data\\songs/*.*'"
This had something to do because I put the fretsonfire in the root of the drive and not PortableApps subfolder.
Edit: hmm its not because its in the wrong folder apparently... Trying to check some more. Hmm maybe the problem came because of a corrupted music or something...
Edit 2: I think I found the problem.. its because I placed a shortcut to the portable exe on my desktop...
so...
u fixed it right?
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
I thought I fixed it. But now
I thought I fixed it. But now the game starts in a folder and when I leave the folder the 3 demo songs are visible but not the folder. I think the earlier problem was FoF not able to find the folder that was previously played. But now the root music folder ingame doesnt show the folder that contains the musics...
At this time I need to put one song in the Subfolder and then it shows the folder in the ingame browser...
Hmm why doesnt a folder inside \Data\settings\songs which contaions different songs work... like \Data\settings\songs\first10songs then \Data\settings\songs\more songs with each subfolder having more than one tune. This only seems to work if the \Data\settings\songs folder includes a subfolder with a song...
i think I might try it with a regular non portable version also to see if this is a problem is with the portable version specifically.
Better Splash
The current splash is a bit ho-hum. What do you think of this one?

Live with purpose.
i like it
should i post a new pre-release for it?
or just a launcher with the splash?
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
You can
You can if you'd like. But it can wait til the final or next PR (it's not a code change).
Live with purpose.
Extra Mods Available
I'm not sure if these will make Frets On Fire any less portable, but you can find Mods and extra songs for FOF at www.fretsonfire.net (moderator please remove link if not appropriate). I already use the non- Portable version of FOF and have found the site to be extremely good.
P.S. In order to get extra songs for Frets on Fire, you will have to register with the forum.
new version
check release notes for changes

Mod Support STILL BROKEN
The game works ONLY if built-in mods are not used! As soon as I enable both Light Graphics (which reduces processing load) & Chilly (I like the blue theme) mods, the game breaks down & pumps out an error message.
The only way to get the game work again is to delete everything & reinstall the game.
I have NOT tried to install any additional mods or songs to the game, most because I'm uncertain where to place them with the odd methods of making it portable.
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH PREVIOUS (DT) VERSIONS
I strongly suggest that the mod issue gets fixed, even if you have to remove the built-in mods (forcing me to install them separately from the game files, which is likely the case would be) to prevent people from suffering this problem!
Otherwise, you'll get a lot of complaints upon release this!
SUPPLEMENTAL: I would additionally suggest reworking the PAM icon for this. For some reason the blue fuzzy circle around the F doesn't work. It just shows a butchered F for the icon. It's just a cosmetic issue, so it doesn't have to be addressed immediately.

ill take a look...
will report back soon
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
ok... lets take a look
I have NOT tried to install any additional mods or songs to the game, most because I'm uncertain where to place them with the odd methods of making it portable.
by odd you also mean the standard ways of making this app portable right :)
ok to add songs you hav to put the song folder in Data\settings\songs folder
MainFOFPortable
-Data
--settings
---songs
----yousongfolderhere
----twibmpg
----etc
hope that helped
Edit: About the mods i downloaded the regular app and when i tried to change the mod it would not work, it would crash anyway. I will test on other machines
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
Thanks for info.
The main reason why I said odd is that Frets on Fire Portable current uses a compressed executable since like DT 7 or so that throws the conventional (non-portable) file structure out of whack. I'll give that a spin, assuming I can resist the urge of placing mods with the portable version & totally destroying it (forcing me to delete & re-install it).
The non-portable version I have (1.2.415, RF-Mod 4) works perfectly fine. I can change the mods on it with little issues. It does lag a bit while the changes are put into effect, but that's about it.
~TStodden
ill take a look like i said...
i will test on other comps

Update

Great Fun! Works on wine 1.0
I've just been playing with this on my laptop running Ubuntu. There was absolutely no problem installing or running it using wine 1.0. I can't wait until this has been officially released.
