USB Gaming

I'm thinking of moving from this (blogger) service to Google Sites. The Organization there is better, and I can store torrents locally instead of redirecting everyone to a different site to download. Hmmm.

I'm planning a large site-wide update of graphics, layout, download options, help section and updating older games while redefining other options.

I have very little time to work on this site, and updates will come in small increments at irregular intervals. I want to keep this site clean of these little messages from me, and leave only game releases and game fixes. Minor site news and planned updates I'd like to keep separate, so if you'd like an "inside-look" into what I'm doing, please follow me on twitter.

I do read your comments and appreciate your thanks!
I also see people that are having trouble with releases, but time is hard to ration between moving forward, and supporting older releases. I strongly feel that I need to find time to respond to all of you individually, but I simply can't. I do take your issues into consideration, and I'd like to make future (re-)releases have better detection of common problems and avoid them automatically.

That's all I can say for now!

Unreal Portable

What is this game? Unreal is a first-person shooter computer game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes and published by GT Interactive (now owned by Atari) in May 1998. It was powered by an original gameplay and computer engine that now bears the game's name, one that had been in development for over three years in founder Tim Sweeney's garage before the game was released. The player takes on the part of Prisoner 849, an otherwise anonymous persona aboard the prison spacecraft Vortex Rikers. The ship crash-lands on the lip of a canyon on the planet Na Pali, home of the Nali, a primitive tribal race of four-armed humanoids. The Nali and their planet have been subjugated by the Skaarj, a race of brutish yet technologically advanced reptilian humanoids. Skaarj troops board the downed Vortex Rikers and kill the remaining survivors, save for Prisoner 849, who manages to arm himself/herself and escape from the ship. The planet Na Pali is rich in "Tarydium", an exotic crystal that possesses a high energy yield, whose utility is the reason for which the Skaarj have invaded. The ship has crashed near one of the many Tarydium mines and processing facilities that the Skaarj have built. Prisoner 849 travels through the mines, meeting Nali slaves and eventually entering the ruins of Nali villages and cities, where the extent of the Nali's suffering and exploitation are made clear.

Ok, so now it's finalized.

The final version of Baldur's Gate - the Original Saga v3 available from a variety of torrent sites for your downloading pleasure. I've updated the project page and the old update post about v2.

I'm DONE updating Baldur's Gate 1!
I know there are people who still have crashes and problems, but I've done all I can from my end, and I can no longer bang my head against the wall trying to fix what seems to be a game that has problems in its own right, regardless of what I do with my portable launchers.

Changelog for v3:

This is a brand-spanking new version of Baldur's Gate - The Original Saga (which includes tales of the sword coast) with these additional fixes:

Official 5512 Patch
Official DirectX Patch
Bladurdash FixPack v1.11
Bladurdash Game Text Update v1.11

I've done some tinkering to prevent any further errors, and I hope everyone enjoys! Naturally, this is still beta, and bugs might appear; leave a comment if you have any problems!

It is advised that everyone download this new version and delete the old one.

If your game crashes after the intro movies and just before the main menu, the path to the game is too long and you need to move the game closer to the root of your drive (such as C:/ or D:/ or J:/).

It's pretty late now, and I'm very tired.

Fortunately, I was able to complete the 3rd revision of BGtOS.
I haven't updated any links here yet, and I've only uploaded it to Demonoid for now.
A full re-download is required. There were considerable troubles from the last mess I made of the patching process, so this should be a welcome change for the better.

Here is the link: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1701093/

As always, ENJOY!

Baldur's Gate the Original Saga... VERSION THREE (v3) ...is coming soon to a bittorrent client near you. Stay tuned.

I saw this video a little while ago, concerning Fallout 3. I'm a fan of this guy's sense of humor, check it out! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/420-Fallout-3

I've been bustin' my ass studying for university, and so I had to take a small break from my sites. Rest assured, I hear your clamor for releases and fixes! Trust me I'm working on them now! Regarding all the problems people have been having with the updated games, I'm thinking that the mess with all the patches is to blame. I will re-release torrents for a couple games, and see how that goes. I will go a step further, and include any bug-fixes that have been released with the game to try and kill those related issues. We'll see how that goes!

I'm ironing out the bugs from Baldur's Gate - the Original Saga and refining the template I used so that future releases will have less (none!) bugs. Currently, the launcher does not modify the registry as it should. The game should run fine, since the most important aspect is the baldur.ini file - which is properly modified.

EDIT: I FIX'D IT! If you want to update to the latest version, redownload the latest patch for Baldur's Gate - the Original Saga; I've replaced it.

EDIT 2: Baldur's Gate 2 and Throne of Bhall has had this issue fixed as well. I don't know if this was what was causing the assertion errors - I think not - but it's fixed!

If you've been trying to get these games to run in windowed mode and are having a hard time, look at this forum thread for two suggestions: D3DWindower and DXWnd.

Please post success (and horror!) stories if any of you try these programs out! Of course, you can also post alternative programs/tricks that have worked for you. Happy gaming!

THIS UPDATE IS OLD, AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
THERE IS INSTEAD A COMPLETELY NEW VERSION 3 OF THIS GAME AVAILABLE.
PLEASE CHECK THE GAME PROJECT PAGE FOR THE DOWNLOAD LINKS.



BAM! This game has been FIX'D!
Before I give you guys the link to the patch however, you need to prepare your game folder.

First things first: the game will not run if the path to its folder is too long. I can't be bothered to figure out how long is too long, but suffice to say I had to change the name of folder to the game files... and now so do you.

1. Browse to your game folder.
2. Go to App.
3. Rename Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga to BGtOS. Capitalization is important!!

At this point, you are done preparing!
Download the patch here - overwrite everything. Please note this will overwrite your Baldur.ini file.

If at some later time, you'd like to change the default location of the game files (BGtOS), you can do so with the Baldur's Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ini file. You can change several folders and settings in there as well.

If you ever get an error message when starting the game (after the intro videos), move the game to the root of your drive and try again. If you do not get an error, that means the path to your game was too long.

Have fun!
As always, I encourage bug reports!
Keep them as detailed as possible, thanks!

EDIT: The launcher will create two files in the root of your drive; Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ico and Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.nsi. To fix this, open the Baldurs Gate - The Original Saga Portable.ini file and find the line that says ;ExtractSources=TRUE. Remove the semicolon, and change true to false (capitalization doesn't matter). You can safely delete those two files.

I didn't like the last solution I had for BG2. Sure, it worked, but it wasn't...elegant as we like to say in programming parlance.

I've wanted to include an .ini file with releases, so you all have more options (easier access to command parameters, change the .exe to run if you've installed a mod or whatever, etc.). So I've changed things, and from now on there will be an .ini file that will take care of what "path.txt" was doing just this morning - and more!

There's no reason to update your game if it works, but for people who are just now coming here to figure out why their BG2 crashes, they can just download the patch from the last post. I've updated it to this new .ini system.

BG1 to follow shortly.

I'm confident that the bugs should be gone now with this patch. As always, post in the comments if you get errors or have problems.

Changes:

• The launcher will replace all old directory paths in the registry file, with the current directory. From what I could gather, this wasn't what was causing the errors and crashes, but it was a thing I've been meaning to do.
• The source of the crashes and assertion errors was the baldur.ini file. It has the locations of critical files for the game, and now the launcher will edit this file to point to the correct folders.
• There is now a "path.txt" in the data directory that contains the last directory the launcher was run from. It is used to update the registry and baldur.ini files. Do not edit this file unless you know what you are doing.
• I've updated my portable template to the latest version (2.6.4) from Loncarek's site. I couldn't find a change log, but it seems as if the registry file is handled better now.
• Dynamic updating of registry files should make its way to my other releases, and certainly to all futures ones.

Download the patch here. Extract and overwrite everything.
This will overwrite your baldur.ini file, so you might want to back that up beforehand.

Let's see if I can't do something about our Baldur's Gate worries! I hear all your error messages, and THANK YOU for submitting them all! Hold tight!

Portable Baldur's Gate - The Original Saga

What is this game? Baldur's Gate is a computer role-playing game in a high fantasy setting, developed by BioWare and released in 1998 by Interplay Entertainment. It is one of the premier single-player titles in the history of the computer role-playing genre. The story follows the player character as he or she grows up following the cataclysmic Time of Troubles, and it puts an emphasis on character development through dialogue and battle. The game rewards the player character according to his or her moral choices, in the spirit of the game's opening quotation, credited to Friedrich Nietzsche: “He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..." —Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Portable Fallout Tactics

What is this game? Unlike the previous two Fallout games, Fallout Tactics emphasizes tactical combat and strategy. Players are not able to respond to non-player characters, but they can still trade and gamble. Instead of towns, Fallout Tactics centers around Brotherhood bunkers and missions. The bunkers serve as a central point for the Brotherhood, and players can obtain the services of quartermasters, mechanics, personnel yeomen, and medics. Characters from completed missions occasionally visit the bunkers.
