Zune HD can't open games

[sir justin]

Alright so I have had this problem right after I deployed platformer for the Zune HD, which it works. I also have 2 other custom made games which also work. When I try and deploy games such as alien blasting and retro racing it deploys the game and says download is successful. After that it says waiting for computer... I restart my zune while it still says that ( I waited 10 min before but it always says that) I try and play the games I just deployed and it doesnt work. Any reasons why?

When you deploy the games F5 tap the screen to load the game, does it work doing this method?

[sir justin]

hmm....noe after it says waiting for comp....and then it wont load still when I try and play

[Jesus]

after you deploy a game if you just tap the screen it should load it, I think this may only work with source. If it doesn't load then something is corrupt and re-download the files from a different source. If it is .ccgame file then try downloading from a different source. If that doesn't work then upload the files and I will test them to determine the problem.

try to restart your computer too, i saw you reset the zune but sometimes its the xna/c# software that wont connect

[sir justin]

ok, I tried all of that....but a piece of information that might be nessecary I forgot to tell. Also when I first tell the device to deploy the game, it finishes half way before even connecting to XNA...is that bad? I mean after that it deploys everything but maybe I am missing something because of it. Redownloading the files...sigh can't tell you how many times I tried that

No, that is normal. XNA (or C# whichever) builds the game, THEN deploys it to the Zune HD. The first half is the building part.

Alright so I just tried to play custom games that previously worked on my device...and now they dont....BUT the Zune hd games that microsoft mad do...

hmmm, it seems like we are all stumped.

see if u cant make a video, step by step from when u download the ccgame to when u try to play it!

it could really really help to see what exactly u are doing and to make sure there are no miscommunications!

Unfortunatley I dont have a video recorder...WEll I will try and describe it like this.

Situation 1a:
Download games successful
Deploy Games successful
Play games successful
Situation1b:
Download microsoft games
Deploy Games successful
Play games successful
Situation 1c:
Download more Custom Games
Deploy Games Successful
Play Games Failure
-Games flashes to zune loading screen for a split second then resarts

Situation 2:
Turn on Zune HD
Try and Play Previously successful Custom Games
FAILED
Same thing happens as situation 1c
Situation 2b:
Turn On Zune HD
Play Microsoft Games
Success!

I dont know why this is happening...maybe a possible virus or glitch?

delete all of the games and apps (MS ones too) and re-deploy them.

[sir justin]

hmmm....I tried that and the custom games still do not work anymore. I am out of ideas myself...
