Unlike the original project, this fork stores downloaded AI models in:
<repo_folder>/models_cache/
Why this matters:
- Models travel with your portable drive
- No re-downloading on new PCs
- Works offline after first setup
- Easy to backup or transfer
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| "Python not found" | Run setup.bat and choose Full Portable mode |
| "No NVIDIA GPU" | App works on CPU but is much slower |
| "ffmpeg not found" | Download ffmpeg and place in ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe |
| "Models re-downloading" | Ensure models_cache/ folder is with the app |
| "Theme not saving" | Check that .theme_state file can be written |
- Built on Resemble-AI's Chatterbox
