Games Support

In the DOSBox Portable page, it says you can set up C in the DOSBox to point to a path on your portable drive by adding this to the dosbox.conf file:

mount C: \PathOnMyDevice

I created a folder named DOSGames on the root of my thumb drive. However, "mount C: \DOSGames" doesn't work. I've only been able to get it to work if I do "mount C: G:\DOSGames". I'd rather not do this, however, since the thumb drive doesn't mount to drive G: on every system (it's G: on my work PC, but I: on my home PC).

Any advice on how I can make this generic?

I have to agree with a much echoed sentiment here that this application is not up-to-par with the quality of the other PortableApps.com applications--multiple solutions and guessing at numbers isn't "hard" it's just annoying.

Is anyone aware of better alternatives? Maybe a different source we could point John toward in making it portable? I haven't tried many Windows applications for this, but they mostly seem to be not free and not portable.

A couple of excellent, free, and open-source projects I have found for other platforms, both written in JAVA, are:

Hi,

I've just published a small script for the liveXP project from winbuilder which includes sudoku from portableapps.com

Also mentioned both developers on the credits section of the script and added a link to the respective portable app webpage on the description.

btw: There's a small typo on the sudoku description, look here: "Sudoku Portable is a an addictive"

You can find this script here:

there is a simple alternative to sudoku portable, which is already portable: http://stammel.net/denksport/sudoku_windows_en.html

I am clicking on the executable. I have to re-install the program every time I want to run it. What the solution?

I woul like to install the game on U3 USB Flash Disc. Utility U3 needs for installation file with *.u3p extension. I appreciate any idea regarding enabling installation on U3 drive.

Spy Sweeper "Spy Installation Shield: found: Adware: maxifiles, version 1.0.0.0)
I ran the program and Spy sweeper Ver 5.3.2.2361 Definition Ver. 885. Today Fri March 23 around 12:00 PM Arizona Time. (Note Arizona has no Daylight Saving Time)
I exit the program and ran it 3 or 4 more times and the same thing happen.

I'm sorry John,

I had forgotten that there was a PAs version of SP when I was replying to that post about a different version. I had not played it for a while till a few minutes ago.

Is it completely done? [no more work being done on it]

It would be great if we could print the games.

Don't have your CAPS LOCK on when entering numbers. Then entered numbers are tiny (about 1/16 normal size) and locate in the upper-left corner of the square. You don't have to restart the game to change it, just toggle off the CAPS LOCK and overtype the small numbers.

For future versions, could it be possible to make the application window smaller? Right now you can resize the window larger, but not smaller.
