I remembered there was a small executable that allowed to boot Guild Wars without installing it, so it could be placed and run from a MP3 player/Memory stick.
But I don't know the name of that file anymore, and typing random key words in google wouldn't get me far. top 10 results were hacks and duping progs ..
Does anyone know the name or host of that (or such) file =)

do you mean you can just copy your entire guild wars folder to a portable drive, and just connect it to any computer and run it? that should be an easy test, i can try to do that later also

I think he was thinking of the PortableGW program, but it would be interesting to see if you could run it off a big enough USB drive. You can easily get 8gig flash drives now, and a portable USB harddrive is even larger.

Sticking it on your iPod/USB is an interesting idea, I think I'll try that sometime.

Here is a kind of odd question for this application......

If I had gw installed on my computer, and another copy on the memorystick, would I be able to open them both on 1 computer and have 2 copies of gw running at the same time?

I think there is a hack that allows you to run two copies of GW on the same computer at the same time. This would only be useful if you have more than one account since you can't log into the same account more than once at a time.
