I had this sitting in my projects folder and I hadn't done anything about it, so I decided to clean it up a little and upgrade it to the next version.
Note: it doesn't have a splash screen yet, because John hasn't sent me any of the splash screens I've asked for, nor the source. It also doesn't have a new installer, a help.html or the ability to run from a CD. That said,
Mahjong Portable is the popular Mahjong game packaged in a portable format. You can play up to 3 of your friends at once, or just play a game against the computer. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your Mahjong game and settings wherever you go.
Mahjong Portable 1.8 Pre-release 4
Pre-release 2: INI example added, various readme changes.
Pre-release 3: Updated with a new style PAF installer and AppInfo stuff.
Pre-release 4: Added a help.html, thanks to Patrick.
I'll probably be releasing a few more today, but all without splash screens as well. I'd also like to point out that Limewire Portable is going to happen, I have written a patch for it and it should be in the next version of Limewire.

"the popular Mahjong game"
Haha, clearly not.
I've never played it, and if I haven't played it, then it's not popular.
But I will not, kay?

I meant the actual Mahjong, not that specific implementation of it. I still don't get it, but I had to get rid of it

I can't find the download directory listing either to find out if it was a typo.
No longer exists? Fancy real download page?

He's probably run off to play with the Kangaroo's while we wait with a broken download link.
Tisk tisk.

What the hell! Kangaroos? Pfft, you probably think that I'm going to have some shrimp on the barbie for lunch!
Anyway, I've fixed the error. It was a error with the template, so all the links were broken. I had it there in preparation for v2 of my system.

Kiddo, John's installer is much better and takes only a second to compile...?
And want me to edit the help files from other apps for you? It's not much, but I have nothing better to do.

You've posted the pr2 about 5 minutes after I downloaded the first version
Are you considering moving to NSIS installers instead of .7z?

I'll get a version of that up in the next pre-release, which will have a proper page (and hopefully a splash, if John ever sends the source to me).

Another indirect mention to John's inbox.

It would only take him two seconds and he doesn't have to read anything.
Hey, maybe he should add a notice saying "This address is a autoresponder and as such we can not reply"

P.S. The source is no good to you without the font...?

It's a paid font and you need it to make the splash. I may have to buy it if I don't already have it.

Version 3 leaves
C:\Documents and Settings\username\xmj.ini
behind.
Is that changed in Version4?
Something else:
It wants to access the internet so it changes the registry keys
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\
StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\path_to_app
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\
StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\C:\path_to_app
PS. I have Win XP

I'll take a look at those when I get on my computer.Later, at Ryan's computer: I don't get the xmj.ini in my $PROFILE directory, I get it in the root (C:\)
Hold on, I'll try running it from my test drive.Nope, still saves it to C:\
Can you delete the file and confirm? Also, what specific flavour of Win XP (Pro, Home, SP1, SP2, etc) and what type of user account (Admin, Guest, Normal, any group policies, etc)?

OK, I'll do some tests on my other computers.
Where are you running it from?

Yeah, it does attempt to access the internet when running a local game, even if you turn error reporting off. Which isn't very nice behavior.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I might recompile it then without that

Most portable apps seem to be originally non-portable. Is that the case with this one? Is there an installable version somewhere? Just curious.

Thanks! This will impress the mother-in-law!!

Mahjong Portable is quite good, but the interface could be better.
All in all, I like it.
Best of Luck!

Wasn't there an older version of Majong Portable in the games section before?
Simplifying daily life through technology
Nope, Majong was never in the Games section. Only MinesPerfect and Sudoku
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
He may have seen it a few times when all the hidden pages became published for all to see.
Hi I would like to know when will a portable MahJong game be made available?
Something like this but portable.
Mahjong In Poculis is a free Mahjong game for Mac and Windows.
