Casino BlackJack Portable:
Category: Games
Description: This is my first attempt at making a Java .jar executable in PortableApps Format. I received permission from the original compiler to try to make it portable. Right now my biggest problem is that I can not hook it into the VM. There by all the graphics are pretty shot. I am posting this in hopes of getting some help with it. Hence the reason it is an alpha version

This thread is outdated; 2.0 Beta 3 is now available.

The PortableApps.com Launcher is your PAL in making applications portable. It's a universal launcher for which you don't need to write code. Instead, it's configured with an INI file (which goes in App\AppInfo\Launcher\AppNamePortable.ini), and uses a splash screen in App\AppInfo\Launcher\splash.jpg.

I've just posted a pre-release of Audacity Portable 1.3.11. This should be a fully-functional release of Audacity 1.3.x. It supports upgrading from 1.2.x (though you will lose all settings in the process as they are not compatible).

I have been using 2.0 Beta 4 since it was available and have been impressed with it. Only recently have I stumbled on a problem, and that is on my wife's netbook running Window 7 Starter edition.

Clicking on the Eject button, the OS will tell me it is safe to remove the device. However, the drive light remains on. That makes me a little nervous. The first time I had this happen, the next time I used my USB stick the OS suggested it had not shut down properly, and did I want to check and repair any errors. Have not seen this message again.
