Hello there.
Rather than installing games on my laptop and desktop, I prefer putting my software onto a USB drive whenever possible and running it from there (no hassle in moving save games around when I travel, etc).
This is assuming my laptop and desktop are both capable of running the game, and that the games themselves use relative file paths etc (I suppose what I'm really thinking about the GOG setup executable that is mentioned).
Is there any particular reason why this wouldn't work in general for GOG games?
If no one knows (and GOG have no objections to this way of installing) then I guess I'll just buy one, give it a try and let you know :)
Thanks

Well. If the game requires DosBox then you can install D-Fend reloaded
[url=]http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/[/url]
It is a GUI front end for DosBox. When you install it make sure that you choose "PORTABLE" mode during the installation options
This is how I have it installed on my external hard drive along with 5.5gigs of Old school PC games.

Heh, I didn't know DFend was still in development, thanks for the info :D

Thanks Slybo and Ois!
I do have DF Reloaded and I'm currently making arrangements for it to be buried next to me when I die, as I love it so much. But great to hear that Fallout will work and fingers crossed others will too.
