Wouldn't this xbox live arcade game be cool on the zune?!

Marshillboy · 08-20-2008, 08:35 AM

No. No it wouldn't. And here's why:

The xbox 360's processor is a 3.2 GHz PPC Tri-Core Xenon, and it's graphics processing unit is a dedicated 500 MHz ATI Xenos.

Know what processor the zune has? A 400 MHz (yes, megahertz) Freescale i. MX31L processor with NO dedicated GPU.

Know what that means? Let me spell it out for you: LAG. Basically, major control problems aside, even if a quarter of the xbox live arcade games DID play on the zune, they would run like crap.

So no, stop requesting games that have anything to do with live arcade. There is a reason why they were made for the xbox 360 and NOT the zune.

WE should know! we Barely got zJewels running on the zune, BUT the first gen Zunes are running at about 500-533Mhz, which is interesting.. yet still no difference when compared to the 360's powerhouse. As far as Zune games, they all should be as simple as possible, because its just too easy to bog down the framework within the zune.

i think that it would be possible to put n+ on zune just search for N "the way of the ninja" in quick search.

Not all the games would be impossible, but still the point sticks.

I did not see anyone say that they would be impossible. Just impractical.
