I have couple games for ppc but I want to install them on the micro sd card and play on the Wing. Can I do that? Will doing that corrupt the file on the sd card in the long run?

yes, you can.

they can only cause boot loop if it overwrites a neccessary windows driver..which it will probably not..

the probability of storage card or file corruption.. well you are dealing with windows and with blocks of memory...so it's always a possibility... no matter how great of an os windows is... it's still annoyingly stupid at times, hehe.

of course.. some games don't work properly from the sd card.. usually they automatically look for local windows files needed and they can't find them.. because they look for storage card/windows... oops.. so some games do have to be installed on the ppc itself.

OK thanks for the info. I Guess I have to try to see which one works from the sd card.

Every game that I have ever installed, I've put on my storage card and had no problems. You should be fine with just about anything.

and then you have to create a short cut for the game in the "start up menu" folder right?

Not if its a .cab file. It will auto install and create the link for you.

Oh I see, so you copy the cab file to the sd and run it from there.

One more thing, this is not relate to subject but here is a thought.

I remember reading the cookers said that there is certain size limit requirement when they cook a rom and that's why they can't remove a lot of stuffs.

Here is my thought, why don't they just remove stuffs that they want. Then let say the size limit for a rom is 50 MB and now they have 45 MB. Can they just create a "junk" folder and put some junk files/pictures in that folder to bring the size of their rom to the limit. After people flash their rom, they can just delete the "junk" folder? Then we can have a clean rom with less amount of storage.
