How portable?

As above, a laptop..

Or you could just take a flash drive around with you with all the stuff you want on it

But as for stuff like PSP and such.. I've heard it brought up quite a few times, but I don't think it really can work out

I think it already is portable. Just try and you'll see.
EDIT: I meant that you can put it to your portable hard drive or usb-stick and play it from there.

As of now, making FoFiX portable would be a very difficult thing to accomplish. Playing it on a laptop (like unpurexdoa said) would probably be the closest thing to mobile FoFiX that you could do.
This is just a placeholder sig until I find something else to put here.

If you mean portable as in portable apps, all you need to do is download the archived version instead of the installer, put a fofix.ini (fretsonfire.ini for older versions) in the same folder as the exe and you're done.

Well, I mean portable to put it in a multisession CD or DVD to go adding new songs and play from there, but for what i see in your replies it looks like I'll have to get an older version to play from the DVD.

Another little question if you dont mind :tongue:

Can i have the FoFix in my pc and play the songs from a dvd or usb?

Bye and thanks again, you people rock! :thumbup:

USB yes, DVD... Probably not. It has to write scores and things to the songs, so I suspect the game would just crash. Hopefully this kind of thing will be fixed in the future.
To play songs from a USB, you have to change your songs folder in game (and the songs need to be in a folder named "songs")

I remember fixing up the code awhile back so it allows you to play from a DVD, because I myself have a lot of songs and a small hard drive and that was the easiest way to save space. I don't know if the code got corrupt anywhere between then and now but all you really should need to do is set your base_library to the cd drive.

yeah! :cool:
if you have a flash drive just get the whole file and just drop it on the flash drive.
i got it on my flash drive and it works fine with me. but get the file in a zipped file or folder.
cause if you get the exe than you'll get a lot of errors :scared:

Hey guys I also have a portable question too. U see I have a portable usb hard drive that is like 120 gigs but when I put the fofix folder in there and tried playing it from there it wouldn't work. And when I just tried to put my songs in the drive and locate them with the game I couldn't find the device. I hope I don't hog the attention I really need more memory! :scared:

I'm working on making it compatible with the PortableApps.com Suite. I'll post it there when finished.
