Oblivion Portable?

[thisaccountisuseless]

So I read a forum post somewhere a long time ago about Halo CE Portable, which was a flash drive with DamnSmallLinux on it with WINE (a Windows compatibility layer for Linux) and it ran Halo: Combat Evolved as the main program, as soon as you started the computer with the flash drive in the slot it would skip loading the desktop and boot straight into Halo. It worked really well, too. I want to know if that's possible with Oblivion, if it's a legal copy.

Copy and paste of the last topic as the same applies before any one starts mentioning it etc..

 

 

 

Cracks are stuff to bypass DRM, no cd cracks from the old days also are the main pat of that category.

 

There is many legitimate reasons someone may want to crack their legal game and that is someones personal business but site does not cracks, the site does not ban but it does not support or allow discussion of it so you wont get any help here for them I am afraid.

 

Do not start talking about cracked version please to any one who replies as the topic will end up being locked.

 

 

Back to the actual topic, you could try the steam version of the game, it does not require a CD although obviously requires steam.

 

DO NOT buy the direct to drive etc version of Oblivion if you ever decided to purchase a online version as it uses custom DRM that is encrypted and does not work with OBSE, the steam version is fine in this regards though as it does work with OBSE.

Well like I said in my previous post, I have the original release PC CD from 2006. And this is all hypothetical. As far as Steam goes, Steam itself is pretty tasking on hardware and resources. So for Oblivion I just want to get DSL, load WINE or POL (Play On Linux) and then install Oblivion and DX7/8/9/10/11 and play at a hotel computer or something.

Given the size and loading requirements of Oblivion, I doubt it would work very well. Despite being almost 10 years old at this point, it still has some rather steep hardware and performance demands which place it above the specs of your typical business-class PC. Combining this with the I/O limitations of running everything off a thumb drive would probably render it mostly unplayable.

 

Halo isn't open world... It also was mostly designed around Xbox hardware. This greatly lessens the demands regarding what can actually play it well. Oblivion was based around PC with Xbox360 compatibility added. You'd probably have better luck trying to get Morrowind working like this before Oblivion, and even then you would not likely be able to use any of the visual enhancement mods.

Oh, okay. And congrats on the 10,000 mark. And not strictly flash drives, either. Maybe some PnP external HDDs or a cloud drive, any external source. As far as business class PCs go, typical Dell Dimension 330 Business PC has 3.2GHz dual core with 4GB RAM and a 256MB integrated GFX, which can run Oblivion fine. The I/O would be a problem, I agree. Loading times would be extended. And DSL itself was meant to be resource light, so I think that on a Dell Dimension 330 it would run fine.
