[SOLVED] Out of Curiousity...How Did the 'Games' Menu Icon Get There?

Spike! · 05-16-2008, 02:05 PM

Honestly I never paid much attention to this untill recently when someone in a random article I was reading pointed out that after using the XNA software, the 'Games' icon would appear. So....does this mean that using outside software such as XNA, the zunes actual Firmware can be changed? Because the icon wasent there after I upgraded to 2.5, but only after I deployed a game to my Zune. I'm not sure what the signifigance of this is, but I thought it was interesting.

I believe 2.5 added the games feature, it just doesn't show up until plugged into XNA.

What happens if you delete all your games? Does the games menu disappear?

i believe no... even if you have no games on it it will be still there.. you have to do a hard reset to delete it i believe.
