How to Install Games on Your Zune -- From ZuneBoards.com
With the release of the XNA Game Studio 3.0 Beta comes many interesting possibilities. Most importantly games on your Zune. After messing around on the interwebs I came across this Zune Boards thread, detailing how to install two games on your Zune:
http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/tutorials/23605-installing-game-xna-your-zune.html
  • These instructions are for the 3.0 CTP, but they should still be applicable in installing 3.0 Beta.
  • Don't message runtohell121 if you're having issues. Post a thread in this sub-forum, the XNA forums (link), or on the ZuneBoards (link). Your login info for Zune.net also works with the XNA forums.


Parts needed:
Good luck and happy Zuning.

Points of interest:

Edit 9/22: Updated to include info on the XNA 3.0 Beta release

Yeah, because they have the same firmware, they can both play XNA games.

No all games wont work some are for 1st gen and some are for 2nd gen because some need the zune pad.

Great post Solar. I just installed "Alien Aggressors" on my 30. Galactic Wars 3 doesn't work properly on the 30 though :(

I'm going to try to make a game or 2 myself!

But Zune 30s can still play XNA games...

Thanks indmusic, I'm about to try this out myself. Have you tried this workaround in the first post over on ZuneBoards?

You can fix Galatic Wars 3 to support first generation zunes, simply open the following file, Player.cs, found in:

GW3
+-Entities
+-Player.cs

do a find and replace on the following

find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickRight
replace with:
Buttons.DPadRight


find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickLeft
replace with:
Buttons.DPadLeft


find:
Buttons.LeftShoulder
replace with:
Buttons.A


(you could also add OR's to the thumbstick if's in order to make the code zune30 & zune80 compat at same time)

save the file, deploy, enjoy (credits to Jurai)



Coincidentally, this also shows how you can support a Zune Pad as well as a Zune30 d-pad. It all depends on the programming.
