how to create portable games

Submitted by Bazylio on December 27, 2012 - 7:25am

Hello!!! I am looking for an answer to my question for a long time
I have a simple game for the PC (original language is C++). I want to make a portable version of this game (without installation), so users can play it without having to install (at work, for example!). What technologies for creating and using portable games do you use?
I would be grateful for any answers.

I'm using the latest edition of PortableApps Launcher and found this bug when developing Dolphin Emulator Portable. When I set "RunAsAdmin" as try (needed in Dolphin), the main executable Dolphin.exe gets the argument "UAC" passed to the program executable, in case of Dolphin, making the emulator won't open, only showing "unknow command line argument" message...

strange behavior in the context with the choice of the language

I analyzed in connection with the development of the portable version of the program Drago the switching of the language. Here I focused specifically on the case of the standalone version of the program. For better understanding I would first explain a few facts.

In the subfolder settings of the folder DefaultData I have inserted the file Drago.ini. In the section "Options" I have determined for the key "Language" the value "Hu" (Hungarian).

Subsequently briefly the content of the file DragoPortable.ini:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Drago\Drago.exe

[SOLVED] NSIS How PortableApps Work

Submitted by PaperProjects on December 4, 2012 - 6:12am

I don't think this was posted before (brief search), but I want to know how PortableApps work before I get started, and not just the really general stuff. First, I saw some other guide online, and it says that a portable launcher runs the program, and then copies all it's user data back to the PortableApps directory. I don't know if this is true, or if PortableApps virtualizes everything like ThinApp.
