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

@DinohScene has a tutorial on updating the kernel. as for switching to Aurora, you can easily do this in your dashlaunch's launch.ini file, just redirect to your Aurora's default.xex file.
It's a Toshiba external and I don't see any good way to open it to extract the HDD without destroying something - so how much slower is USB compared to internal?
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)
party buffalo may be able to do this, but it's been so long that my memory is going away. also, the internal hdd is fatx.

@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.+1 -

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

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
