USB Drive Icon

Submitted by jtshow on April 6, 2014 - 1:27am

Hey guys,

I have installed the portable apps program onto my flash drive, but it is among many other things on my drive so the directory for the program is not in the root eg. X:\. I think this is causing issues with the program as my flash drive icon is the default 'broken' icon and I cannot change it. I have tried to edit the autorun.inf but to no avail. Any ideas??

-Thanks,

J.T. Show

I find some instructions on how to use some applications quite complicated, and think that adding explicit detailed hypothetical examples to such instructions would be helpful. I see that this suggestion has been posted by other members, of course using different words. Never the less, I find it a good idea to submit the suggestion again.

How to troubleshoot problems with portable launcher?

Submitted by Peter8087 on April 3, 2014 - 9:08am

I have some programs and games that when i start them from the portable launcher it gives me errors. And the problem for this is in the portable launcher because otherwise these programs and games work fine.

How can i troubleshoot problems with the launcher? Do i have to look at the launcher.ini or appinfo.ini or i have to edit the NSIS script, which will be hard for me since i am not a coder? When there is a problem with the launcher what usually is the source of the problem?

How the portable launcher loads the executable files?

Submitted by Peter8087 on March 31, 2014 - 7:25am

How the process of loading the .exe files from PAL launcher differ from the way how windows is loading the .exe files? I am trying to convert some games in portable format but every time i try to use NoCD patch for a game it always gives some error. And if i use the NoCD patch on the installed game it starts the game without problem. Why this is happening?

Is this possible?

Hey guys! I was doing some software browsing when I started wondering, "Is there a way to make an alternative desktop that is associated with the PA.com Menu?" In other words, have a desktop that you can make shortcuts from your flash drive to or something like that. Is this possible/ has someone already done this? Thanks!
