Side Loading Apps on a USBDrive - where to put "com.something.game" folders?

[Zehrfox]

I want to sideload some games, and put the games n the USB drive (instead of Ouya storage), because they are quite large. But what I was wondering is where do you put the "com.something.game" folders? Note: Something and game are just generic names, these vary from game to game. Also what is the process for instaling games like these? Do you install them to Ouya Storage and then move them? or just install them directly to the USBdrive? Does some part of the game HAVE to be installed on the Ouya storage to work properly?

I was able to successfully install several games onto the Ouya storage (Riptide GP2, Dead Trigger, etc), but I want to install alot more, and need the space of the USBdrive now.

Some step by step process would be appreciated

I was just thinking of this.
Can we move the data file that is supposed to be in either "data" or "Obb" to a thumbdrive & still have the game work?

Its been a while but yeah I think you just use the move menu item and then after move the game "data" and "Obb" folder to the same structure on the USB drive. 2 of my sideloaded ones work this way but 3 do not for some reason. This move also lost my save games. Just an fyi.

I moved gta3 over to usb some time ago, but I don't think I lost my save. Anyway, here are the steps:

1) Install the game on internal storage.
2) In 'Make', use 'move' to move the game to external storage.
3) Open Filepwn.
4) Navigate to /sdcard/Android/data and look for 'com.something.game'.
5) Select said folder using the 'U' button.
6) Use 'Y' to bring up the menu, and select 'Move'.
7) In the pop-up window, navigate to /usbdrive/Android/data and click ok.
*You might need to create /Android/data if this is the first time you're doing this.

If it's in the obb folder, just switch out the word 'data' for 'obb' above. Most sideloaded games will work fine when you follow these steps. However, some games (such as several gameloft games) check only the sdcard for their data files and will ask you to reinstall the data. You can get around this by rooting and doing some coding, but that's outside my wheelhouse so I'll stop here.

Good luck!
