How do I use a .cfg within the Hatari folder (over all others)

[Foebane]

I am using Windows 7, and I would prefer to use a .cfg file within the Hatari folder as default, so how can I do this?

Does Hatari refer to the Registry at all?

How can I make Hatari portable?

Run Hatari with the following parameter :
-c, --configfile <filename>
Read additional configuration values from <file>, these override values read from the global and user configuration files

You can also have a look at the excellent online manual, everything is explained : http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/h ... anual.html

I don't understand what you mean by portable? Run it from a USB key on any computer? As far as you have the necessary libs installed on the system you should be able to run the app from an USB key. Otherwise you need a full bootable USB key like Beekey (see link in my signature)

Create a shortcut which asks Hatari to load config from a directory/file of your choice. Hatari has "--configfile" (-c) option for this.

Hatari doesn't refer to register and is portable. Config file is optional, Hatari has sane defaults.

If you simply want Hatari to use a default configuration that you want, simply name the file Hatari.cfg and it will be selected as the default configuration file. I am guessing the other users who answered are Linux users. While Windows does have a command prompt, I have seen fewer people using it.

As everyone has mentioned, Hatari does not use the Windows registry. However, you would need all of the DLLs in order for it to run.
