So, I have a question which is probably going to be a controversial question... Would it be possible to use SX OS's USB drivers to have retroarch access external HDDs? Ofcourse, that would only be compatible right now with SX OS but... For now it would be awesome to have it be able to connect to a huge hdd of games!
Another question would be, is there currently a conventional way to use external hdds with retroarch and im just out of the loop?
Well...this would be awkward to carry around with you if you're on the go a lot like me, but if you don't care, here's what you could do:
*Get a USB-to-USB-C converter cable and have the HDD connected to the USB-C port. Preferably have a WD HDD or a small enough portable SSD that can fit in your pocket and won't be too suspicious looking these days. Bridges also work.
*Use the external HDD on the dock in TV mode.
Alternatively, you could go for a 256GB SD card, convert all of the PS1 games to .pbp, and reduce storage size, while putting the games that won't fit into the limits of a .pbp file in their own respective folders. Hell, even the SanDisk 400GB SD card was on sale for what the 256GB SD card was. Doubt it still is on sale, but look for stuff like this as it can really make your life much easier!

Hi just want to ask because specific latest switch related news is hard to find. Is 1.7.5 the latest version still? No fix for PSX yet? N64 still a WIP?
Yes, I believe 1.7.5/1.7.6 is the current version. PS1 still needs Threaded Video to run at anything resembling full speed, and I still haven't tried the N64 emulator out yet. I'm more of a Playstation guy generally until what happened lately with Chicago...
