You'd need to install BF2 there as well...

But I doubt it will work so great, due the amount of data that needs to transfer.. It could choke the bus transferring data from the ext.HD back to your computer.

But who stops you from trying?

C#, my god...

Anyways, it should be possible, but expect some really long loading times and possible stuttering.

I know that someone got PR SP running from a usb stick, so this should be possible. Can't find the thread though for some reason.

It's a hybrid between Java and C.

If there wouldn't be for Microsoft pushing it wherever they can it would of died out long ago
