Zune Games FAQ - Page 3

TheZMan · 05-15-2008, 09:11 PM

If you are prepared to download developer tools and load games from the source code (its fairly trivial to set up and do this) then yes you can play games. Its not like installing a game on Windows yet.

As for prizes I don't know of any.

does it lag when you play it?

SimReality · 05-16-2008, 10:08 AM

What do you mean "lag"? If you mean having the game run slowly, then it depends on the game. The two I've made don't lag, but if someone tried to make a particle system with 50,000 particles I'm sure your Zune would start crying.

do you install the clock the same way as you do the games

have they or when are they going to add support for 64x so I can add games to my 80gb Zune... with my Vista Ultimate 64x , Patiently waiting

TheZMan · 06-24-2008, 11:53 AM

They have not

They will at some point

We don't know when other than it will be fixed for RTM - due Holiday 2008. There's been no announcement of any intermediate betas but they have always had a beta in the fall so fingers crossed this one gets fixed for that.

Your crazy

Lister22 · 07-18-2008, 11:00 AM

No, I'm not. When I put a 13th game on my Zune, it randomly takes another game off. Really, it does! I can't get more than 12.
