is it possible to use HDD

[impeeza]

what i wanted is insted of installing my backup on nand or SD i was wondering if there is a way to install it on external HDD and play like how i do with my ps4

Nop, no can do. as far today only you can play software on your (Emu)NAND or SD card.

Only with sx os.

I read somewhere that atmosphere devs didn't want to include this option (while it is possible) to avoid any legal actions from big N. With coding knowledge and using atmosphere source code, one can add the feature to his own private usage. This is what I understood, I might be wrong!

TX was using Nintendo code to spoof the cartridge slot having a game inserted into it whenever you selected a game off the HDD. This is why the Atmos devs won't touch it. Homebrew apps today have HDD support but only as an install source.

The bigger reason why Atmosphere won't touch it is due to it being used 99% for piracy and nothing else. Something that SciresM is completely against.

The stolen Nintendo cartridge code is the major piracy part. It's not just about the games (that's a separate piracy). It makes no sense for people to argue "anti-piracy" but then turn around and install games to their SD cards off the HDD, piracy is piracy.

Running games off HDD in SXOX involved stolen cartridge code + stolen games.

Running games off SD in Atmosphere only involves installing stolen "borrowed" games using a third party homebrew app. (In b4 someone tries to argue "I rip my own cartridges so it's not piracy", that's not the topic.)

Oh I wasn't disagreeing fully. I was especially note that atmosphere would never have this due to SciresM's opinions. This is the same reason why Atmosphere doesn't come with any sigpatches.

The only use for a HDD on Atmosphère will be piracy (as you told:

allowing you to store more games

)

so WILL NEVER HAPPEN, Atmosphère DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY. PERIOD.
