NES and SNES Emulator request

Submitted by war02orc on December 11, 2008 - 4:29pm

I would like to request 2 emulators if I may that I think many people would find useful. They seem to have been mentioned in previous threads, but it doesn't appear as though anything ever came of them. I know nothing of how to make an app portable, so I can't be of much help there as far as this request goes. I'm not sure if they are "Just Works" programs, but if they are it would be nice to have them integrate into the portable apps launcher.

I think that it finds it useful when installing it (Of course, the installation destination to USB-Memory etc.) of software where the registry is rewritten with the personal computer of the destination for instance if there is software ..being possible to make to virtual...

Is such a proposal useless?

It would really be great to have adobe reader as a portable app because it can't install on my school computers and I can't get it to install on my flash drive.

-- Thanks a lot,
Your site is great!

TortoiseSVN Portable

I think TortoiseSVN Portable would be a great addiction to portable apps. Ok before all you nay-sayers come in. Yes I know of SubCommander and RapidSVN but neither have a very good set or features, they aren't very stable and they are not easy to use! and Yes I know it's a shell extension! but I really do think it would be perfectly eligible to be a Portable App. First off it is Opensource and OSI compliant, Secondly TortoiseSVN *really really* simplifies SVN, just about anyone can use it.

Hi everybody. I want to ask if it is possible to have a portable version of this software from erightsoft, that allows you to convert any video format, because I've a great problem with it. Every time I restart my pc, this software doesn't work, and I've to reinstall it to let it run. So I think with a portable version it will work always.

Alternatively every video convertor is good if it's not possible for this software. Thanks
