A simple to use, GUI app which will copy the devkitPro folder, and patch various files to allow user to compile on machines without installing devkitPro or PAlib. Minimal and Full versions are available.

Installation

  1. Download and extract file
  2. Copy everything to a flashdrive, cd, or whatever portable media.

User needs .NET installed on system to run the GUI app.

User guide

Run the "PAlib Portable.exe" and select a source drive.

Confirm that the source directory listed is the directory to devkitPro folder that is in the same directory as the app. (Can be any install of devkitPro, but thats why one is packaged with it.)

Click copy and wait for all files to copy. When receiving an "Install Successful" message you may exit the app.

To create a new PAlib game/app copy the template folder located in the PAlib directory. This contains pre-patched versions of build.bat, clean.bat and makefile to allow you to run them without setting any enviroment variables.

PAlib Portable - Minimal

The minimal edition requires user to copy the contents of devkitPro folder to the one supplied. This is not recomended, because this may mess up patching of files. Eventualy on a flash drive, it'll still be the same size.

PAlib Portable - Full

Comes bundled with everything (basic) needed to make DS apps/games.

Known issues

So long as using the latest version of PAlib and devkitArm r21, it should all go fine. When in doubt, just download the full edition (missing emulators/examples ect ect).
