Saving on PJ64 not working

[Queen_Lolita]

I burned an copy of Project 64 and all it's folders for my friend. The PJ64 I burned works perfectly on my computer and on his, it does not save. I had him copy over the contents of the folder and check read-write so, he should be able to write in the folders
Since, this was burned from my copy he can sometimes access my old saves. I can save on my copy perfectly but, he can't. We both have 1.6. He has Windows 7 and I'm running PJ64 with Wine on Ubuntu. Any more things I can check or should I download 1.7 for him?
(ps. PJ64 is reading the correct directory in the settings)

Thanks in advanced!

Why don't you try installing it using the official installer?

[squall_leonhart]

that would mean having an ounce of logic.

I think it's simple as circle - Windows sometimes set read only attributes to all files copied from CD/DVD and doesn't care about attributes set when disc was written. Your friend need to check for r/o on PJ64 folders.

When burned to a disc, all files and folders are read-only, and the attribute doesn't get removed if those files and folder are copied onto a hard disk as is.

This behavior should be obvious.

P.S. Why didn't you just give your friend the Project64 installer?

Isn't project64 portable?

[Agozer]

If you put it on an USB memory stick, yes. If you put it on a non-rewritable disc media, no.
