Thanks.

I think what i am going to do is just install an SD card as internal storage and keep everything on there..

just noticed on my shield I now have an option to mount a network share from the settings of android that I never saw before.. must be new. wonder if that will allow apps to see SMB shares

Cool, I myself have a Minix box and I had to root it and use scripts to get the mounting done. This would make it really easy. But when you mount a network drive it will be accessible through something like /sdcard/mounts/MyExternalDriveName which you use instead of smb://10.10.10.1/MyExternalDriveName
This is needed for the emulator apps, not for AEL itself.
