PC Wizard

Submitted by admiralfreak on December 24, 2006 - 10:39pm

Hello, I know this is my first post here but I have used portableapps.com for quite a while.
I would like to see PC Wizard be made portable. PC WIZARD 2006 is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis. It's able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most accurate results. PC WIZARD 2006 is also an utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system. It can analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, Cache performance, RAM performance, Hard Disk performance, CD/DVD-ROM performance, Removable/FLASH Media performance, Video performance, MP3 compression performance. PC WIZARD 2006 can be distributed freely (ftp, archives, CD-ROMs ...).

Wirehark

I was hoping that one of the apps under development is a Wireshark portable application. Wireshark formerly ethereal is a network-capturing program, which allows you to examine real-time traffic and create complex filters.

I realize this would be hard or near impossible if, promiscuous mode was needed since winpcap installs services onto windows. However, I was hoping otherwise that Wireshark would work fine from a USB flash drive.

Tangram Portable

My friend passed me a game of Tangram. I liked, and I looked at the possibility to put it in my PenDrive. It's OK, I use this already 1 month.
I integrated it into the menu of my PortableApps, altering him to them my need...

Like me I don't know how to do that, I am leaving the files here for somebody that understands do the installer (.paf.exe) for the game... Smile

Version altered for my use: http://www.hub80.com/augustogarrucho/_HF_/Tangram/TangramPortable%20(Adapted).zip
Original version (installer): http://www.hub80.com/augustogarrucho/_HF_/Tangram/Tangram%20(Original%20Installer).zip

Id like to see this great, easy, already somewhat portable app hosted here. Its great on taking the garbage out (old temp-files mostly) on old over-used computers in a couple of clicks.

Portable Blender (3D Suite)

Submitted by mpan3 on December 20, 2006 - 9:03pm

For those of you who doesn't know, blender (current version 2.42) is a 3D computer graphic suite (like maya and 3dsmax). It is extremely small (only 6mb for a full installation) and is basically already 'portable', since it does not rely on any windows service, dll, or registry setting.

for more info: http://blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html

Blender is, IMO, an ideal portable app, it is small, very 'portable' already, and is opensource so any modification is possible.
