They all sound awesome! Haha, worms. Maybe I'll just be the Portable Game Guy.
Fine, I'll do HTTrack too.

Arcade! Like, they're all so perfect, I am totally doing it, I don't know why there isn't more downloads.
Seriously, how can you not go wrong with Pong?

Arcade Classic Pack uses flash. On a machine without flash installed within Internet Explorer, it will fail. (Flash installed within Firefox or Opera is different and isn't used by this app)
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Im wondering how it works on my system then. I don't have Flash installed on/in anything but FFP...
Except for a Portable Flash Player I found but it isn't associated with the files.
From ADOBE:
"Adobe provides a free license to allow you to redistribute Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Shockwave Player on your company's intranet, or with your software product or service. Use this online application to apply for a license for any or all of the Adobe web players."

It actually opens the flash games inside the Arcade!.exe (Menu Screen) so I don't know how it's doing that.

I've never installer flash on my system, and the only time I install it in my browser, if there's like a video or something I want to watch. But I thought they would be flash dependent as well.

I downloaded and used offline a flash 3D tetris game, and it opens up in my fireforx browser.
Wouldn't any of the flash Arcade games do so similarily, open in the browser? So it's as an add-on to the browser, not something separate.

Only if you have the plugin installed on the computer you are using...
And most public computers I have seen don't have it installed and you do not have admin privileges to install anything.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I guess it uses something similar to the screenweaver application which can transform flash swf into stand alone applications by including flash player into the executable.
However this might still be a problem because the player itself is not open source. Hmm would they use the open source gnash player? I don't know.
There are several tools (also commercial) that create exe from swf. I don't know about the legality of using embedded swf player though (also I even seen it on some commercial games even as disc start menu).
Arcade!.exe is just another swf file converted to exe. Whenever I convert swf files to exe, I use SAFlashplayer.exe (Macromedia/Adobe Flash Player Stand-Alone).
Could you point us to where we can find a free, legal, virus free copy of this program, SAlashplayer.exe
Unless of course it's not free or legal to download
Tim
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
The stand alone player is both free and legal from the Adobe site. Its quite obscure to find though. I downloaded it just the other day, but can't seem to get back to the page.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Just download the trial of Macromedia/Adobe Flash to get it. (or better yet, send me an email and I will send it to you (Version 8.0.22.0). I'd prefer it if your email is with yahoo. [All other email sites i've tried don't allow certain file types.])
P.S: If you don't get a reply, please, just wait patiently and you will eventually
get it.
Thanks, I have found a copy of 8.0r22, I was hoping to find a copy with 9.115 or whatever the current version is.
Tim
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
I'll try and get it from Flash CS3 or Flash 9 Update.
Here's the trial for Flash CS3, but the download is huge (403.71MB)Scratch that, faster and easier to just download the Flash Player 9 Archive (61.8 MB).
Debug version is here (84.5 MB).
Look for an exe file with '_sa' in the filename.
Send an email if you want the latest version of SAFlashPlayer.exe (with my own little hack. Details in this post)
Thanks
Shame to have to do a 62MB download to get a 3MB file
Wonder why they make it so difficult to get
I can't see why they would have a problem with people playing the files locally.
Thanks again
So what do I do with the extra 59MB of stuff
Tim
p.s. I'm not sure what your hack is, I think the player can save projector files on its own.
Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
Yes, it can.
Comment by me.
Another post by me.
Have fun.

There's a difference between using a player to play content that you have downloaded and want to see locally and having content load in you browser which has been foisted upon you by a website.
If I download a file, I know what it is, I can scan it for malware, I can run it in limited mode.
When I browse the web and a site wants to load ads or whatever without my permission, written by who only knows, and slowing down my browsing experience that's another story. This stuff CAN BE DANGEROUS! And on top of that many of these things are written so They Just Wont Stop. They go on and on and on

can you all stop talking about Arcade and flash and go all the way down to talk about ATanks?
I'm waiting for ATanks portable...
Each time I see "new" on this thread I come as fast as I can thinking I'm going to find a download link called "ATanks portable beta 1 prerelease 1" or something like that but I only find more about Arcade and related...
Please, please, please, Christmas finished and I still don't have "my toy"...
But if you prefer to make "portable UFO: Alien Invasion" or "portable Assault Cube" first I'll be more than glad about it... lol
I think is time to change my signature and add a line about these games...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
I am working on Assault Cube but it uses some weired bat file and I haven't figured it out why it doesn't let me do it in NSIS instead
"What about Love?" - "Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate." - Al Pacino in The Devils Advocate
because I can't help on this launcher... I tried the ATanks (the most easy of all, because it's already portable, just needs the paf format) and couldn't do it... I'm a Veterinarian not a programmer... but surprisingly I understand what you meant about the bat file...
But if I can be of any help... there is a portable version of Cube, once installed it have a folder with the launcher's source, I was studying it to modify it for Assault Cube but... I'm a Veterinarian...
Maybe you can use it to understand how they dealed with the bat file.
The web and the game are in French but code is universal...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,

for the cube link.
I hope it helps. But in the worst case, its AssaultCubes fault and not NSIS´s
And btw I know french so thats not that much of a problem
EDIT
And where does ATanks store its data files?
"What about Love?" - "Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate." - Al Pacino in The Devils Advocate
But I think is in the same ATanks folder...
Checked: Everything look to be in dat files in the same ATanks folder... it just need a launcher...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,

would be easy cause it just has to copy stuf around
I´ll give it a go this weekend.

Just so you know...
My hack is:
'Press CTRL+E to create a projector file (useful for SWF files that hide the menubar).'
It doesn't add any new functionality, except that it allows you to create a projector file for any swf file. (Just press Control+E)
(Simply put: Shortcut key for the 'Create Projector...' item on the File menu.)
P.S: The hack is multilingual.
Had you gone to this post you wouldn't have needed to ask. (Please ignore this last line if you had gone to that post)
I could not find it there either.
If you remember could you let us know.
Perhaps check your browser history
Tim

According to what I found here (web in Spanish) this .exe is part of he regular Macromedia Flash Player installation, it is the independent player for Windows Media Player....
Here is something in English too...

Thank you for looking but both of those are for an old version of the program, 6 I think.
The current standard download:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Sho...
seems to be only the Browser plugins for 9.115?
Tim

Well I used Screenweaver which EMBEDS the flashplayer into the created executable so it runs also on a system without flash installed. Yep, I made some stand alone apps that way.
Hmm I wanted to download the source of those flash games but NO SOURCE available??
Hmmmmmm next they gonna tell the actual games are not made by the person who posted them. Oh and the website for the flash games doesnt't exist as well...
Yesterday I downloaded Atanks, opened it with Universal Extractor, removed the .nsi, the $Pluginsdir and every readme, license, changelog, etc...
I tried on my Pdrive and it worked... I don't know if it's leaving something but at least I can played it...
Dude, this game rules... I'm not a frequently gamer, but I love this one...
Portable Launcher please!!!!!!!!

are a lot of portable games... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portable_computer_games lots are GPL
pkeffect, since ATanks you "infected" me with the "gamer virus"...
Launchers, launchers!!!

I just bought a new 4Gb PDrive to load more Apps on it, of course I started with games (and POOo)...
But help... Tribes, Warsow, Tremulous, Vega Strike, Wormux and Battle of Wesnoth are huge and of course takes lots of time to load and too much space... is there any way to make them smaller? Which files can I delete and which one to upx (well, I still can't handle the upxing but at least I can request it... lol)?

You compress exe's with upx. Probably all of them.
I'll right you some instructions. Infact, This Post has some pretty good instructions on how to utilize upx.

You can UPX dll's. UPX'n breaks things sometimes. Best idea is to UPX one file at a time, run, test, close, UPX another, ect ect ect.

AssaultCube (http://assault.cubers.net/) and UFO: Alien Invasion (http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/)
Both GPL and incredible nice and addictives...
AssaultCube is portable, just unzip into PDrive... needs a launcher because it is started running a .bat file... oh! and it also don't remember my settings (like user name or uniform)
UFO AI, needs to be "tweaked" because it writes settings to Docs&Settings, makes registry entries, etc...
I don't know how to do it... Who can do it???
BTW, What happened with ATanks portable?

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I'll take a look at them, but I can't promise anything. I'm "off" for programming right now with basketball season and semester exams coming up. If not tonight (Wednesdays and Saturdays are my only days that I'm available), hopefully this weekend or within a few weeks you'll see some of these pop up on the testing forums.

I'll give ATanks a go at the weekend if John has released the new specs till then. If he hasen't, maybe I'll do it anyway
And AssaultCube is already released as a DevTest Release.
