[Outdated] Project64 Portable Launcher Beta2 (Testers Needed) -Updated 10/22/07

I have been waiting so long for this.

THANK YOU!!!!

So many people have wanted PJ 64 portable. Your my hero!

I thought it would be nice to provide profile support for this as well as a feature (which I've not seen with the regular project 64) that allows for parental controls. See, I allow my siblings to play games with PJ64 but, in order to keep there settings separate I have to look up the registry's for it and export, this version will help me be more portable but, it seems it would take away that flexibility. Also since my siblings are young and I don't want them playing Doom and Duke Nukem (and any others of the sort) I have to either place those games in a separate folder or tell them no and hope they listen.

Does anyone know if Esperon is still active?

The launcher doesn't seem to update the drive letters like it should. Here's what I did to fix this (this comes from the PidginPortable launcher). StrRep.nsh and RepaceInFile.nsh need to be added from another source (I just pulled them out of the PidginPortable source directory, so I don't know where to get them... GIYF)

!include "FileFunc.nsh"
!insertmacro "GetRoot"
!include "ReplaceInFile.nsh"
!include "StrRep.nsh"

. . .

then, at the RestoreSettings part

RestoreSettings:
${GetRoot} "$EXEDIR" $R2

ReadINIStr $R1 "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\${NAME}.ini" "${NAME}Settings" "LastDriveLetter"
IfErrors "" +3
ClearErrors
StrCpy $R1 ""

. . .

then, between each of the IfFileExists statements (looking for the .reg files) and the corresponding check for a 9x system

IfFileExists "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\project64.reg" "" BackupRun

StrCmp $R1 "" +2
${ReplaceInFile} "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\project64.reg" "$\"$R1\" "$\"$R2\"

IfFileExists "$WINDIR\system32\reg.exe" "" RestoreTheKey9x

(you need 3 of them...)

. . .
and finally

TheEnd:
${registry::Unload}
WriteINIStr "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\${NAME}.ini" "${NAME}Settings" "LastDriveLetter" $R2

Also, you need to delete $PROGRAMDIRECTORY\Project64.cache before launching right after StartProgramNow:

This is just a cache of the items in the menu if you use the ROM browser, which also contains hard-coded paths. Rather than changing the drive letters it's just easier to delete the whole file because it gets regenerated on launch if it doesn't exist. Good job with this

I'll see about it. I've been kind of fixing it up a piece at a time just so I can use it and at the same time altering it for use on U3 (cus that's what I have). I'll try to pull out the U3 stuff and get it back to PAF and see if I can't update this and release.

The download link http://downloads.sourceforge.net/armogohmasuites/Project64_Portable_1.6.... takes me to http://sourceforge.net/projects/armogohmasuites/files, with "A 404 Error has Occurred" as the title.

You should either update the original post saying you have made a new page of it (this page reaches #1 on Google for "project 64 portable"), or just add the new download link into this post.
