Many people have wanted to make the process of side-loading much simpler, I’m talking drag and drop APK installs simple, well want no more. Until something better comes along, which there is, I made a batch file that will let you drag and drop APK files onto it and install them onto your OUYA.

What is needed

ADB must be installed and part of your environment

You must have network ADB enabled on your OUYA, for a way to permanently enable it check out these two posts. ReRoot Your OUYA Always On Network ADB

Copy the script below into a batch file, “Install on OUYA.bat” would be a good name!

Install on OUYA.bat

@ECHO OFF ECHO Installing "%~1" adb connect OUYAIPHERE adb install -r "%~1" pause

*Don’t forget to replace OUYAIPHERE with the IP Address of your OUYA.

Download Install on OUYA.bat

Tada!

Once you have these steps done you will have an icon on your desktop called “Install on OUYA.bat” , which you can drag and drop APKs onto and have them install on your OUYA.
