I've got a USB laptop drive hooked up to the EXT connector and it's showing up as sda in the GP2x menus. Emulators that allow free browsing for ROMS work fine but, being a linux noob, I have no idea what path I should be putting in the config for those that don't? Also, Outcast has neither free browsing nor a config file and always looks on the SD card even if I run it from the EXT HDD, so does this make it impossible until an official update?

Cheers.

You could link the two folders, The location is prolly /mnt/sda/

to link two folders,

ln -s /mnt/sd1 /mnt/sda

as long as the card folder is /mnt/sd1 and the ext drive is /mnt/sda

Edit: Accually, link inside the /mnt/sd1 folder.. something like /mnt/sd1/ext so that you can still mount over the top of it
