External/portable Hard Drive

[TimFields]

Is it possible to have the emu setup to run from a portable hard drive from the same computer that has the current normal subscription EQ on it?
Is there anything I would have to do to make this work?

Its an executable, just copy the whole P1999 folder to your hdd. I have mine running from a USB thumb drive.

I'm a bit illiterate, how do I do that?

Find the parent installation folder, most likely in your c:/program files folder... wherever it is, cut or copy that WHOLE emu folder, all 3.4gb, then paste it into a desintation drive (external). Next open up the folder and look for the EQ icon, the one that would start the game. Either use that every time, or rt. click and create shortcut, then move that shortcut to where you want. Of course you know that if you move that shortcut to the desktop, you need to plug the external drive into the same USB port every time.
