HOW TO: Run games from USB drive

• Compatible USB OTG Cable
• Paragon NTFS&HFS+
• GScript Lite
• Compatible kernel (ntfs read/write support)

1. Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7 and unmount if the system automounts the drive (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)
2. Open Paragon NTFS&HFS+ and mount the USB drive using the automatic mount point setting (/storage/usbdisk).
3. Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
4. Enjoy your game and extra space!
5. When done, unmount with Paragon NTFS&HFS+.

1. Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7, it should be automounted by the system to the default location: /storage/usbdisk
2. Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
3. Enjoy your game and extra space!
4. When done, unmount via the system: (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)

Script for Horn:

Script for Max Payne:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/MaxPayne /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.maxpayne

Script for Dead Trigger (gave me an error the first time opened but worked fine afterwards):
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/DeadTrigger /sdcard/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger

Script for Shadow Gun THD:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/shadowgun /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun_thd

Script for Asphalt 7:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/Asphalt7 /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM

Script for The Dark Knight Rises:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/TDKR /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftKRHM

Directory Bind does not seem to be working with 4.2.1

and does not look like the dev will ever update it as he has not been seen for almost a year on xda..

a real shame as i use directory bind on my gnote
