Default zuNESter (NES emulator for Zune HD)

Release candidate is here.

Update:
-Landscape mode (Thanks to Nick for the theme.)
-ROMs are now searched for in /flash2/zuNESter/ROMs as well. (Put them there with Liberate or a specially made File Deployer.)
-Moved saves to /flash2/zuNESter/Saves and now saves according to the entire file name.
-Images to indicated pressed buttons.
-Invisible quick load button in top-left corner and invisible quick save button in top-right corner.
-Other stuff.

This is a port of PocketNester 0.7a. It is highly optimized and should be able to run any NES ROM at a full 60 frames per second. It supports 9 save states per ROM. Unfortunately, the sound currently does not work at all. Hopefully that will change in the future. The controls are obvious from the overlay, except that to access the menu while playing a game in portrait mode, you have to touch where the game is displaying (upper part of the screen).

Also, be sure to add your own NES ROMs to the ROMs folder before deploying.

Downloads:
zuNESter Deploykit v1.1.1.zip

zuNESter File Deployer (to deploy ROMs and Saves)
zuNESter File Deployer v1.2.zip

Feedback is appreciated.

Thanks Netrix! It's starting to seem like you're the only active zune dev front developer.

Any thoughts on releasing other emulators such as SNES?

Yes, it would be easy to do.

P.S. Zelda and Metroid run very good. Sadly, needs widescreen support.

That is why I said that landscape mode is planned for the first full release.

It would be helpful to say what ROMs you are trying to use.

^ the only one i have right now is super mario bros 3

EDIT: nevermind, apparently it was actually in a zip folder (usaully its just the rom, but shows up as a zip folder), but there are red boxes over all the buttons, is this normal? EDIT: nevermind, its in options xD

and heres a thumbnail i created


EDIT: one more thing, would it be possible to create a layout with the "A" and "B" buttons side by side, like they are on the nes controllers?
