    Internal storage will get full quickly

    I'm sure many have asked or have mentioned this question...

    Can we load an external hard drive or memory stick to download our games to?

    Or how about dropping files onto a home network?

    Thanks...

    from what i have read you can put roms onto an external drive but you can't download Ouya games on to it.

    Some games like Bards Tale you can put so much of the files onto a stick.

    I've bought so many games I can't list them on my sig now lol.

    Its more than possible to move apps and games onto external storage and still have them work. I have the majority of Tegra 3 games installed that have controller support and use huge amounts of data. Currently I have 31 games installed on my OUYA, most of them with huge install sizes. Conduit HD, Beach Buggy Blitz, Bard's Tale, Burn Zombie Burn, Dead Trigger, Spectral Souls, Grand Theft Auto III, etc. The point is you make the USB drive mount as an extended SD Card...and save your internal storage space. I have a 500 GB WD Passport drive and its really something to see when you have 155 GB free on your "SD Card" in the storage settings.

    Hey Wraith, can you post a link to how you did this? I've found conflicting posts and I'd really like to know what you followed, since it works for you.

    This might help. Let me know if you give it a try!

    I figured you would need to root it for that... I'll just wait until Ouya is updated to support it. If they want us buying games they will eventually have to do that because when I run out of space I'll just stick with the emulated games.
