Games Support

Initial numbers give multiple solutions.

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.
