Hi I am creating a new game but I'm a total programming loser please give me the code for the portable app launcher (For example 7zipportable.exe) and a clear backgroung with only portable and a usb flash on it everything else should be clean!
I promise to post it once I finished developing it!

no need to be so excited, it's quite simple.
We don't create the actual apps, we create launchers for them that make the app portable. All the code can be found in the folder 'other' in any portable app installation. As for the portable splash, not even the developers have access to the source. Only John Haller (the lead dev, etc.) has it, and it's only for official apps. The rest of us use the Development Test Splash Screen.
Here, you can read the specs: https://portableapps.com/node/12851
Good luck on your arcade game!

Thanks but how do I exactly make a launcher!
Cause I have already done everything but I don't know how to make the launcher exe file!
I don't even know how was it programmed (C++ or Visual Basic)
And I only want it to run appdir\app\ssiv\ss4.exe!
You need NSIS, found here.
Then depending on where the app leaves stuff behind, you can alter different launchers.
Here's a list:
You can compile it using the nsis compiler found in that NSIS package. Or if you want there is an NSIS portable here.
Just replace all the stuff with your app's credentials, add your copyright underneath John's (don't replace it), and change the legalcopyright thing in the viversionaddkey to PortableApps.com and Contributors.

Man i'm a total idiot and i have never worked with NSIS
Please tell me what do I have to do
What do i need to input!
You made the game? If it's already portable and in PAF format, you will not need a launcher.

Uh... at this point I think you will need to consult the manual...

Please tell me what is wrong here!

I would believe you typed 'SectionEnd' instead of 'Section...'

or is it your version of the game Samurai Showdown IV?
Just an FYI, this website will promote only open source programs, though they do make launchers for folks who have closed source/privately owned programs.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
