Sure. What is SkyDrive?

And I know the secondary link is faster, but it got overwhelmed yesterday, so I'm trying to spread the traffic out

EDIT: I put on the full package again, and put the files on SendSpace instead of RapidShare. Hopefully it'll be faster now, I don't know

Really helpful for begginners

BTW guys the alternate link is 12 times as fast.

SkyDrive is Microsoft's free online cloud storage. They give everyone with a live ID (which your Zune Tag is linked to, so you should have one) 25 gb free online storage. Skydrive

Just so you know, you might be getting a lot more traffic in the near future: Complete Zune Games/App Package - Zune Games - abi>>forums

It does, but don't use it if you don't have to. If a lot of people use it, it'll stop working, and then NO ONE gets to use it.

Why not use MediaFire?

I could use it for the small one, but it's too big for the big one.

The main problem with SkyDrive is that you have to log in with your Live ID to download anything from it. However, the vast majority of people here probably have them (anybody with a Zune social account, XBL account, MSN Messenger, or Hotmail already has one).

i downloaded it and extracted it with winrar on my desktop.. and when i looked in the folder the games looked like they were in there.. but when i tried to open them in Microsoft visual #C 2008 express edition.. the folders look empty but when i look in the folder on my desktop they were in there.. but they dont show in the folder when i open a project in microsoft visual?

[Godzilla2013]

Great job, It was really annoying to have to download each game individually. Unfortunately, the second package with all games/apps, when extracted it showed only half of the games and half of the apps. I'll try downloading the complete package now.

Bolt I was wondering if you could answer my question from earlier. How would be the best way for us to get games that come out after downloading the package, without redownloading the whole thing again? Would it be possible to create an updater or something? Or just post updates on the main post in this thread?

Thanks, Bryan

Well, you can either download the whole package or just get the updates from the topics, I don't see anything else being even remotely feasible. There's always some collaborative software like Microsoft Groove, but that's not exactly common enough to use (it costs money).

I don't think he was talking about anything related to MS Groove - he wants an autoupdater, kinda like Steam for the Zune.

Something like that could be implemented, but it would be a lot of work for questionable gain.

[Bolt]

If someone ends up doing that, it's not going to be me. Too much work

[bryguy393]

Ok then. Would it be any trouble to just put in like a little sentence something like:
UPDATES:
(game name) 12/31/08 - Added to package. Standalone Game Link

Or should I just go to the other stickied thread, the list of games one.

Thanks, Bryan

[Bolt]

I could do that... I guess....

BTW, you don't have to sign each of your posts. If I did that I'd have wasted 2 days signing my name with all of my posts
