Is it required that I have a PAF-style launcher, i.e. AppPortable.exe, besides the main executable? Or would it be sufficient, assuming the app in question natively understands the PortableApps App/Data directory structure, to just launch the app's .exe directly?
I understand why the launcher is needed in most cases--the app itself usually uses a different directory structure and needs to be poked and prodded to adapt it to the PAF structure--but the game I'm making will be in PortableApps Format natively. Therefore, if there's a way I can nix the launcher and have the menu just launch the app directly, I'd be all for it.

it should be fine, Toucan did this for its initall version, so I can't see there being a problem.
If it's natively portable, just build it so the main exe is in the root directory, the supplemental binaries are somewhere in app and the data goes in data.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
