How to make any Game work on Zune 30 if it's not supposed to.

[zachnehrenberg]

You can fix any Zune game to support first generation zunes!!! Just open the the game, and follow these instructions.


do a find and replace on the following, and make sure you change the search to Solution. Find and replace is found in the Edit menu (I think) or the one next to it, and you want to click replace.

find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickRight

replace with:
Buttons.DPadRight



find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickLeft

replace with:
Buttons.DPadLeft



find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickUp

replace with:
Buttons.DPadUp


find:
Buttons.LeftThumbstickDown

replace with:
Buttons.DPadDown



(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, and enjoy

So thats how you do it lol, been trying to figure that out all night.

[zachnehrenberg]

Well, there usually is a few minor other changes, just for game specifics, but you could probably make any game work with that.

But what about games that you can move in circles? Or is that just the program adding vectors of what buttons you are pushing?

[zachnehrenberg]

Like I said. Some games will require a bit more editing. Also, as of yet, there are no games that do that, and the Zune pad works like an analog stick, so you would just do the conversion for that.

i was wondering if that would work, it was posted in the original thread of how to get games on your zune. i just hadn't tried it yet on any of the newer games

[zachnehrenberg]

I don't know. Most newer games work with the 30, so it doesn't matter. The only game I havn't been able to do this with is Name, but hten again, I'm not the best at programing either.
