Put Save Files on Flash Drive

Does anybody know how to set up tome so that it is completely contained on a flash drive? My main problem is that I cannot figure out how to set save file location in order that it always saves into the flash drive.

I don't think this is possible without some sort of secondary program that would manage it.

ToME's command line arguments can let you do this. For example, on Windows, create a shortcut to t-engine.exe and add

Code: Select all

--home f:\
to the end of the command (if F: is your flash drive).

Alright, thanks a lot Castler! That's real nifty.

Just to make sure, you put the --home f:\ at the end of the file address? So it would look something like

Code: Select all

f:\tome.exe -- home f:\
?

And this should work for all windows computers? On other operating systems, I guess they put the flash drive somewhere else.

Obivously replace f with the correct drive letter.

Yes, but there's no space after the --.

Code: Select all

f:\tome.exe --home f:\
Like HousePet said, replace f: with whatever the drive letter is for your computer.

Other OSes should work similar, although they refer to flash drives differently.
