I installed tremulous to the drive and when I went to the menu, it would not run. I get this error:

tremulous 1.1.0 win_mingw-x86 Feb 28 2006
----- FS_Startup -----
Current search path:
H:\/base

----------------------
0 files in pk3 files
----- CL_Shutdown -----
-----------------------
Couldn't load default.cfg

When I launch it directly from the drive, it works.

Have a 4G Sandisk with U3 removed. Was working great with PA until I tried out Folder Lock. Short version, it screwed up my stick and I had to reformat it. I can load PA on it but windows no longer gives me the autorun menu where I could choose to run PA. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Just want it back the way it was. Thanks.

I'm sure this has been asked before too, but what settings does John use to save his splash images. I know it uses 96dpi, I'm just wondering if he uses the highest quality available or another setting. I want to create my own splashes, and a splash template for Have Some Patience's apps, not including the PA logo, but none of them come out as clear as John's, they all have lots of aliasing. Thanks for any help.

I know these have been asked before, but after searching for an hour or so, I was unable to find a complete answer.

How to change/remove " Portable Apps.com" header on the menu ?

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but anyway:

So it seems that Mnemosyne can be made portable easily.
There was a topic on Mnemosyne a while back and I told that making Mnemosyne portable would need modifying the source code. But I had missed the part of the Python manual that says:
On Windows, only "~" is supported; it is replaced by the environment variable HOME or by a combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.

What is the difference between this two ways to get an usb version? Is there a changelog?

Burning Sand is a C++ program that derived from the classic Falling Sand game - it was originally written in Java and distributed across the web. This version can be hosted off a flash drive.

A very interesting concept - especially great for feeding boredom
