Yup. Fixed support for Zune 30 with some other perks as well:

I tried this on my Zune 80 and 4 and I couldn't get it to work... the host zune always just freezes and then swtiches to the XNA games studio Connect, and then the joiner zune resets. i'm using vo.6 btw

Odd. Im not sure what the problem is, but heres the link to the previous version. i didnt get to test 0.6 with 2 Zunes, but theoretically it should work.

Anyway, 0.55

ehh same thing... maybe it is me, but i left it connected to C# this time and i got this error in the code.
"this.session = NetworkSession.Create(NetworkSessionType.SystemLin k, 1, 2);"
when the connected zune is host, and if i make is the joiner it highlights
"AvailableNetworkSessionCollection availableSessions = NetworkSession.EndFind(result);"
but either way it doesn't work for me... ill check back tomorrow to see if anyone else had or has this prob too

Your wireless is turned on right?

Multiplayer works really well. This is VERY promising. It would be nice, though, if there were a three to five second countdown before the game starts (especially in multiplayer).

[mikenike]

has 6 been confirmed to work with multiplayer or just 5? im so very confused

[Noobtube]

Version 6 still is buggy, its acually more buggy when the paddle hitts the wall but multiplayer works on the zune 30, i tested it on 3 zunes. Version 5 also worked but the paddle only got stuck on the bottom of the screen instead of top and bottom like in version 6.

[mikenike]

ok thanks for clearing that up. i guess ill stick with version 6 then, cuz it doesn't sound too bad. thanks

[appleguy91]

thanks for trying on multiplayer

I am about to buy an 80 gig zune, will multiplayer games like this one work across a 30 gig and a 80 gig? Just wondering.

how does the 2 player work

This does. Not all games will. it depends on what their programming and controls are.

One person joins, and you play pong against each other. lol. Thers no score limit, and you can't quit back to the main menu.

Can you elaborate a bit on what bugs you fond in 0.6?

If you want to know how the actual code works I'm actually planning on making this game over from scratch so as to make a tutorial. Look for that by the end of this week!

That would be great! I've been needing to learn some more C#.
Looking Forward to it.

Just a suggestion, if the user doesn't have wireless enabled and they try to do multiplayer, an exception is thrown and the zune reboots. You should add code to catch the exception so that people can still play without having to wait for a reboot. And in the exception make it say something like "You don't have wireless enabled"
