Null Object Reference

shutout5591 · 05-12-2008, 07:58 AM

I downloaded Benjamin Nitschke's XNA Tetris from abi.exdream.com.

It is upconverted, then when I try to right-click the solution and select "make zune copy" it creates the .cproj and says "object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Any ideas?
Thanks

NOTE: This isn't just for tetris, its for the pong i found there too. I know I can just dl these from this site, but I want the practice.

edit:

I'm pretty sure is because you are using a 64 bit OS

I use 32 bit windows xp...

The apps are written in vs 05 and this is vs 08. I dont know y it wont work.

Here are the games. If you could convert tetris pong and breakout for me, it owuld be very appreciated. even more so: how did u do it.

Thanks!

It's probably because you are using an XNA 2.0 game trying to convert it to an XNA 3.0 CTP game. You'll have to create a new Zune project in VC# 2008 and just drag in the code files (and any content). You might have to adjust more stuff because a game for Windows doesn't automatically scale down or anything for the Zune. So you'll have to do a lot of editing to get stuff drawing the right size and in the right position.

I just want to upconvert. I am using XNA 3 and the games were written for xna 2.0. This is what its for, can anybody replicate this?
