I tried searching through various search engines and haven't found any clear answers. I have an xbox 360 and plan on installing the xecuter blaster 360 mod. Instead of burning (backup) dvd's I plan to hook up an external USB hdd and play my backup games straight from there. Hooking it all up should be easy after the mod is installed but how do I get it all to work?
Do I need some kind of media center?
Exactly what file types are playable from a hard drive?
Can I somehow play .iso files from my harddrive?

Basically, does anyone know what I need to do to be able to play games straight from an external hard drive?

burning is less of a hassle and cheaper.
