[Q] FPse and External Drives - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using FPse on my Nexus 10. I have found it difficult to search for this issue but I would like to have a giant library of games stored on my tablet but since there is a lack of SD card support I find that 16GB is a little difficult to work with when some of the games take up roughly 2GB or so.
Anyway, my question is I have an OTG cable and a flashdrive that all works fine with the N10 but I cant seem to figure out how to store the psone games on the flash drive and load them up using FPse. I have nexus media loader, stock rom, not rooted or anything. I just want to be able to store them on an external device and not locally since they take up too much room.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You could create a symlink I guess, but you'd have to root.

What dpi are you using? Anything other than 160 is causing problems
I used 170 i think this but deinstalling play store update solved it today for me

which toolkit?
Hi,
I just ordered the N7, and i want to root.
Just wanna confirm if this toolkit "[Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.3 [Updated 8/18/12]" is still usable to unlock and root?

Google might allow you access to the books, but Movies are always blocked on a rooted device.
Personally, if you are trying to have the "best" Google Play experience/compatibility, I don't see the draw to unlocking/rooting the device. When I had my BN Nook Color, it made since as I'd wanted access to an Android OS newer than Froyo.
However, is the Nexus 7 languishing on an older version of Android OS? Nope, it's actually cutting edge. Other than benchmarking, I don't even see the need to overclock this puppy. It's gaming experience is top notch!
I'd always lamented that Hulu+ also wasn't available on a rooted device. So there's what you need to balance. Are the benefits for "root" enough to encourage you to do it?
If the answer's "yes", then by all means root the device, just be aware that some applications are designed to not perform correctly on a "rooted" device, possibly to answer DRM issues to that product vendor.

Huh? I play Google movies AND Hulu+ on my rooted Nexus 7 all the time...
Root is required for me as I need to do full backups and you really can't do that without root.
If you start messing with the dpi If free device your going to have problems, not because of root, but because the apps don't match the settings...

My rooted Nexus 7, Galaxy S III, and MyTouch 4G Slide say otherwise. I was able to watch some movies from the play store on all three of them.

[Q] ISO from External Storage?

Hello, I have a question for you people. I have a rooted Nexus 7 and I use the FPse emulator and was wondering if its possible to select a PS1 ISO from say a external hard drive or a flash drive and play it? If anyone can give me some answers then I would be grateful. Thank you
If you have root and otg, then I assume so, it would be a lot slower than having the iso on your tablet but.
If space is an issue then the fpse website has an excellent compression app that can easy cut the file size down to less than half.

If your 2tb hdd has external power it works if you use an OTG USB cable.
I have hooked it up to one of my 1.x tb hdds with external power by OTG USB and it worked like a charm
does it require root access??

Good question. I would like to know also. And yes it has external power. Just a normal WD external.
I've just ordered a Samsung 500GB HDD and OTG cable so good to know (everyone should root their Nexus you can do so much more)

Not for read-only access (search play store for 'nexus media importer'), however if you root it, you can hook up the HDD, run media rescan (paid version of stickmount has that), and videos will show up in MX player, music in Music player and pics in Gallery.
Root is awesome.
If youre going to watch bluray rips or with audio codec DTS then i recommend you use DICE PLAYER and find a modified plugin file. its somewhere on XDA cannot remember for the life of me where it is...
its the only player that will play DTS and HD videos smoothly. MX has sync issues and other players dont support it.
Rooting is so confusing on this thing. Not like my RAZR MAXX.

I use the Nexus Media Importer with a WD My Passport 500GB Hard Drive and I've had no troubles with it.

It's not really, it's the unlocking downloader that erases your data, but besides that you can root it with two clicks using one of the available tools found on this forum

[Q]Running out of memory, HDMI to TV.

I have been playing some games lately on my TV via the HDMI out. Seem to be running out of memory at certain points because everything will crash and I'll only have 75mb available and have to reboot the tablet. Anyone else run into this at all? Nothing is even really running that I can see.

App compatibility issue?

Hi guys just a quick question is there a work around to make play store actually see the nexus 7 as a tablet? Only reason I ask is that there are a few apps and games that this device is more than capable of playing yet the market will not allow me to download? is there a work around apart from downloading the apk from other sites. I don't want to have to get copies of the game illegally as they put a lot of effort into apps and games and deserve to get paid for great apps. Please help

Guess not

I know the feeling. There are a few Gameloft games on the store that are on sale for 69p/0.99c and they won't download because of compatibility issues, yet the Nexus 7 is more than capable of playing them.
I'm guessing these problems are Android related, probably not 4.2xx compatible, or something. So I'm wondering if your issues are similar ? Android OS issues rather than hardware issues. Perhaps buy them, don't download them from the store, get them from those "other" sites. You then don't get the bad feeling of not paying the dev. I'm thinking of doing this with Modern Combat 2, 9mm, and NOVA2.
Modify your build.prop, all you need to do is change the brand, model, and device. I just fooled google play into thinking this nexus7 was a xoom and downloaded nova2.
Make sure to backup the default build.prop, and your system with your recovery of choice.
