I have an RGH2 Trinity slim machine that was set up a long time ago which boots to Freestyle Dash. It has an internal 250GB HDD. My question is, what would be the best (optimal) way to upgrade the kernel and install Aurora and games onto this: I will be using a 2TB external USB drive and 750GB external USB drive for 360 games and XBLA (I'm not interested in emulators or OG Xbox games) and I don't want problems with multi-disc games. Thanks

USB loading is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, 25 MB/s iirc, the internal SATA bus is limited at SATA 1 but it's faster in theory already ;p

In the end, it's your decision but I'd vouch for upgrading the internal HDD.

For anyone curious, any of the internal HDDs, including the Elite and Launch editions, can be easily swapped without breaking anything. Those grey HDD units that slot onto the top of the launch white consoles can be opened easily. You just need to format the drive with a utility that will allow the 360 to read it. (I forget the utility or file system as it's been a minute, but Google lol)

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
