I'm currently talking to the TinyResMeter developer about making a PAF-compliant build of it.
For those who aren't familiar with TinyResMeter, here's a quote from the homepage:

TinyResMeter is a small tool that displays useful information about system resources in real time, but it also gives much more detail when you right-click on the displayed fields !

Customize PA Platform menu

Submitted by varxtis on February 1, 2010 - 12:59pm

I had a question about the PA Platform Menu. Is there anyway to customize the Platform Menu. Like on top of or instead of listing only portable apps, allowing a user to add specific files contained in the drive (whether it be docs, videos, or audio files) to the list. And customizing the Interface color scheme. If no feature like this exists, could one be developed?

Age of Empires

Submitted by gamewolf on January 30, 2010 - 6:31pm

I am creating Age of Empires 1 Portable. This is NOT going to be distributed in any way as this is for my personal use. I will be happy to upload the launcher for anyone who wants it.

I have created a launcher for the game. However, when it starts to launch, I get an error: "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw." I cannot figure out why it gives me this error.

Can someone make/show how to create Portable Photoshop CS2 !

Hello,
i found this thread here at Portableapps.com for making Portable PS CS2 : https://portableapps.com/node/1426 and as i browsed through GOOGLE i came across a number of TUTS with the same method/procedure. But i couldn't find any response from some who actually was able to make one with the steps outline.
So i guess i m not the only one having trouble with the TUT, i followed everything in the TUT but i still keep getting errors, PS CS2 simply wont open.:? Pardon Pardon
