*****For Zune 30gb users*****

You can fix Galatic 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

(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 (credits to Jurai)

Good updates runt.
2 things, in step 2 when yopu check xna studios be sure to UNCHECK standard.
and when you go to deploy with the zune hooked up there will be a 'deploy to zune' option, click that instead of just deploy.

Thanks so much runt and cokey!

Hey runtohell121, after trying to add my device, and clicking add a Zune device, I get an unhanded exception error... "System.IO.FileNotFoundException"

[runtohell121]

[Myndraine]

How do only install C# Express Edition? It is installing .NET Framework 3.5 right now and there are 5 other things that it is going to install, one of them being C# Express 2008.
