Installing games/XNA on your zune - How to install Zune Games

[Bezike]

so I installed everything but when XNA finds the zune i click next and i get

"System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Could not connect to 'Bezike'. Make sure the device is connected to the computer and not busy syncing content.
at Microsoft.Xna.RemoteServices.ZunePrimaryConnector. Connect(String hostId, Session session, Int32 millisecondTimeout, StringBuilder diagnosticBuilder)
at Microsoft.Xna.RemoteServices.HostConnection.OpenPr imaryConnection(StringBuilder diagnosticBuilder)
at Microsoft.Xna.RemoteServices.HostConnection.Connec tToHost(Int32 millisecondTimeout, StringBuilder diagnosticBuilder)"
any ideas?

zune driver might be having problem? or maybe your system corrupted.. or maybe when you installed it.. it wasn't installed good.. not sure >.<

[Bezike]

hm my system isnt corrupted i can validate that, the installs worked fine no kinks or anything ive tried restarting XNA twice and nothing

I have been trying out the games and noticed a couple music things: On alien aggressors, the ingame music doesn't always play and the music doesn't play all the way through, it doesn't loop. On Galaxy Wars 3, you can play your own music at the same time while you play it.

So wait, what file do I open in through visual studios, the Zune version or windows version?

you don't really open anything.. just go to build.. and deploy the game into your zune. just an advice again, don't have your zune program open while doing this.

Yes, but I can't get to deploy without having a project open.. right?

i'm a bit confused... 1. open the .sln file or whatever it is... then deploy it to zune.. its very simple mainly.. open up the game folder.. go to build.. deploy to zune..

When I am trying to connect the Zune, I'm getting this error message:

yeah, but where is the .sln file, do I open the project through windows visual studio, or do I simply open it through my desktop?

There are known bugs for these games:

-Zune 30 is not entirely compatible with galatic war. The controls does not work and the sound doesn't work

-Galatic War does not import properly. Solution is not compatible.

-Zune 30 restarts when you exit the game.

Go to the folder with the extracted files in it. Open up the one with the icon. The c# will open up. Make sure your zune is connected. Then do BUILD and then DEPLOY. Your zune will start doing things and then go back to the screen with the exit on the bottom.

You can fix Galaxy Wars 3 to support first generation zunes, simply open the following file, Player.cs, found in:

GW3
+-Entities
+-Player.cs

do a find and replace on the following

find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickRight
replace with:
Buttons.DPadRight


find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickLeft
replace with:
Buttons.DPadLeft


find:
Buttons.LeftShoulder
replace with:
Buttons.A


(you could also add OR's to the thumbstick if's in order to make the code zune30 & zune80 compat at same time)

save the file, deploy, enjoy

when you extract theres a folder, when you open the folder.. theres another folder (don't open it) and 2 files besides it.. click on the middle one.

I see "Alien aggressors [zune]" and "Alien aggressors [windows]" which one is the correct one to open?

[runtohell121]
