World of Goo Portable is a launcher for World of Goo that automatically copies your World of Goo profile between the computer that you are on and your portable drive.
Important update: This latest release (0.21) fixes an issue with profile copying, along with new features and improvements. Please update!
Also: Source code now uploaded! (People sure love source code? It's on par with the download of the binaries.)

Tested Windows Vista/7 and 64-bit compatible!
Current Version:
[0.21 Beta] (April 30, 2010)
Question I anticipate most people will ask: Why is my "Play Modded" button and/or "Autostart Modded World of Goo" option grayed out?
The answer to that is simple, if you read the changelog: It indicates that you have not added a modded version of World of Goo yet. To add it, start GooTool and set you "Custom World of Goo Directory" to your WorldOfGooPortable\app\WoGModded folder. If the copying was successful, you will be able to use the button/option.
Important: Upgrading from Version 0.1x to 0.2x!
Because version 0.2 use a slightly different directory structure than all previous versions, it is necessary to make some adjustments for version 0.2 to function as expected.
Please download the WorldOfGooPortableUpgrader.zip file below. Extract to a convenient location and read the readme included. Make sure you read the readme so that you wouldn't botch your installation!
Updating from 0.2 to 0.21
Just overwrite your WorldOfGooPortable.exe with the one included in the new package. (Simple, huh?)
If you like this utility, please vote!
Note: This would likely be the last feature-implementation release. I will release the source code soon so that the developers out there can pick out some bugs. Also on the horizon: a new framework for making portable game launchers, which World of Goo Portable will be converted to. Stay tuned!

Can it work on PSP?
Mon, 11/30/2009 - 10:43
It works on any portable device where you can copy World of Goo to. In other words, USB drives, most MP3 players, non-touch iPods with Disk Mode enabled, etc.

And yes, it does work on the PSP (though I can't test it because I don't have a PSP). Of course, you can't play it natively on the PSP because it's a Windows version.

Um i kide of killed it, i ran it from the .zip

No worries. Just extract everything from the .zip properly. The program is designed so that in case it can't find the config file, it'll automatically halt. Nothing would be changed.

I hope you don't mind me asking...but what language did you use to develope this?
I'm just a little curious.

Haven't checked the comments for a while, lol.
I used AutoIt3. It's nice and simple version of BASIC, but for maximum usefulness with administrative tasks. Works for launchers too

I love the idea of making this portable, especially being able to have Goo Tool, a moded, and unmoded version of WoG that you can take anywhere.
I do have one suggestion...small problem I ran into. When the program copies over WoG and Moded WoG, it should change the saved paths in the Goo Tool to point to the folders on the USB device, rather than the locations from the originating folder.
This isn't a complaint, but rather a thought I had...not sure if you've ever used it, but PortableApps.com has a nice suite of portable programs, utilities, and games. They also make a program that allows you to make almost any app portable and make it PortableApps.com compliant....game.paf.exe installer. Would be great to see WoG Portable on that site, as it stands, there isn't much in the way of portable games there lol

how do you get this to work on PSP? thanks
Mon, 01/17/2011 - 17:09
The game can LOAD on PSP, but you can't PLAY it on PSP because it requires a computer mouse. (USB mice are another thing. No idea what about em')

Oh yes it does!!! It can delete all I've done in goo tool, WOG, costume WOG and I think in WoOGLE too!!! How can I get all back???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you elaborate on what happened? WoG Portable is designed to save the account's original profile if it exists, and restore it after the portable version's run. What exactly are you missing?
GooTool and WoG itself is automatically copied upon first run. If you'd like to copy GooTool over, there's a button in the Options box. I didn't implement a GooTool options parser, so if you move across computers you'll have to properly reset GooTool's options.
BTW, this program was made before the new WooGLE, so it shouldn't mess with it unless WooGLE saves everything in WoG's profile directory.

Sounds like a virus, not this.

Can this work on a iTouch with 8GB?
I made goomods.

No, it cannot, unfortunately. It's Windows-only at this point.

OK, it can't unless you can copy files onto it.

You need a device which at least gives you the functionality of a Turing-era computer. Eventually Apple will figure out the concept of "reading and writing memory".
