here it is
http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/project64/source-code/

could this be made into a portable app?

Hi there,

i have, on my USB stick, some software running simply on an exe file that i would like to add in my portable apps menu.

I cannot install them like a portable app software.

Is there a simple solution to add a shortcut to these exe file in the menu?

Thank a lot for your help and be comprehensive, i am a non-english user.

See you.

There's no help file here.I had tryed many times that I got a errlog.

Not to offend anyone, but I rather tech people answer this thread only to preserve the informative value of this post. Others can benefit of this information. Thank you.

Purpose of this thread: safe usage and prevention of a USB stick's content - soft/documents - when used in Internet Coffee shops and on companies networked computers (no policy on external devices here, and admin right on the networks).

In fact it is a board question and I don't even know how to formulate it, but:

How do I get infected
How do I see when I get infected

I managed to destroy my USB drive, and someone gave me a 32 gig unit. At first I was thrilled, until I tryed copying my stuff to it....The write speed would place it last in a geriatric turtle race.

Is/are there site(s) that have comparisons of various USB drives relative to read/write speeds?

Thanks

I need a new stick. It is not much about the price, but the usability/reliability/longevity/transfer speed. It is a Buffalo USB 2, Japanese model, either 8GB, either 16GB. What do you think? I would tend to select the 16 GB.

30 MB/s data transfert / 8 GB / 4000 JPY

or

30 MB/s data transfer / 16GB / 7500 JPY

Q1: is the life span of a USB shorter than a HD?
Q2: does the size make any difference about reliability or longevity?

The first hint of trouble came when I tried to download an app from the PortableApps.com website. After clicking on the 'Download' button I was redirected to a webpage for unrelated software. I closed my browser and tried again. This time, when I clicked on the 'Download' button I was redirected to a webpage for a different unrelated software package. There was a link to SourceForge on the page, and when I clicked on it, my download started but was immediately cut off by my security software.

Therefore, my question: Is there a problem with the PortableApps.com website?

Hey guys, long time user of portable apps but first time forum poster here.

My corporate SEP (Symantec Endpoint Protection) software called StartPortableApps.exe a Trojan Horse today and quarantined/deleted it.... fair enough... I deleted and formatted my USB drive... went to another PC, re-downloaded the Portable apps install executable from Portableapps.com and set my USB drive and apps up again.... took it to a server in the lab (still different PC we are talking about here) that also has SEP loaded and got the same thing?!?!?!

Hello,

Just stumbled across that blog and since the logo looks pretty much like the official PA one I thought that maybe it's owned by someone from here?

[topic modified by mod JTH.]

I am on the site and I am getting weird error. On top of all the website it get this.

The selected file /var/www/vhosts/portableapps.com/httpdocs/tmp/filesOSXa2 could not be copied.

I can not get any pictures of the users.

thanks
