Hello people, lets assume someone has installed citra on their Windows PC before it taken off and now wants to make it into a portable app so that it can also be used on other computers as well without an installer. How would this theoretical person go about doing this, would just copying the installation folder be enough, or would they need to do something else?

Probably less of a headache to just use archive.org

Usually those kind of emulators are already portable, the nightlies are just zipped executables without a setup

Since the lawsuit citra downloads are not available, thats why I was wondering if it would be possible to use the installed version as portable

Last time I used Citra it was 2016, but I installed it on my onedrive folder to make it portable and it worked, it did not hide anything in appdata or registry

You should check out this fork by the person who made CTGP7, there are portable releases

The person could try copying the installation to another folder and try starting the .exe from the new folder!
