CrownCrafter 0 Posted July 22, 2020 I am going to get my Xbox 360 4 gb slim rgh'ed. It doesn't have any internal hdd installed. So, my question is this, is there any difference between internal and external hdd feature-wise. I know an internal hdd is faster than external.But I would like to know if - 1) Can you run games off external hdd(flash drive)? 2)Run DLC off external hdd(flash drive)? 3)OG Xbox emulation from External HDD(flash drive)?

Retro compatibility games (Xbox Classic) will only work if you have it. Some games (rarely) only work on it. 2 It is preferable to have DLCs and game content on separate HDs, but this is not a rule. 3 Games can be on any HD but as I said above, HDDX compatibility is only installed on the internal HD 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I need to install anything to run XB 1(classic) games from external hdd i.e flash drive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrownCrafter 0 Posted July 22, 2020 For games like GTA V, can the install disc and play disc be on same flash drive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OFC they could have fixed this "bug" since then, seeing as they are supposed to allow external hdds to be system drives. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they can, but I have already seen on the internet a test done with it, in which the files of the two discs were on the same HD and the game environment, at times, was poorly assembled.
