What the hell is "Aurora Portable"?

As far as I know, Steve has only ever made two versions of Aurora: the old VB6 version and the new C# rewritten version. Both of these are PC-only and neither as far as I know is terribly portable, although I do think a few brave fools have tried to make C# playable on a tablet.

This being said, the answer to your question is obvious - you should play C# as it is the latest and greatest in space logistics simulation technology.  ;D

If by aurora portable you mean this:

http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Download_%26_Install#Using_Portable_Aurora

Don't play that. Use Aurora C#. The link above is for an installer free setup someone made for a very very old version of the game. Aurora used to be implemented in Visual Basic 6; Steve has since remade the game in C# which runs much much faster and has many new features.
