If it still doesn't detect the Zune or reports the same error, close Visual C and click the enter center button on the Zune to cancle.
Then disconnect and reconnect the Zune to your Computer. After that, open Visual C and try to deploy the game solution again. Also do this if font errors don't go away after you install the needed fonts. Zune Restarts If you quit out of the game you are playing, the Zune will reboot itself. I'm not sure why it does that but all games and applications do that when you quit.
It's a built in feature by Microsoft so it is intentional. When Visual C successfully deploys the Zune Solution exit out and disconnect your Zune from the computer.
Turn on your Zune and scroll down and select Games in the main menu between Podcasts and Settings It will take a couple seconds to load the games or applications that you installed. Select one of the games and a silver Z Zune Z Logo will appear. The game will load.
Once you quit the game, the Zune will reboot. Enjoy your new feature. I'll do my best to help with Visual C errors. And if links stop working, please notify me so I can update the Instructable.

Funny Microsoft let me haveit for free, after 30 days I just registered All of the games and apps compatible with zune 3.
And are available for download it's on the same site. This is a great Instructable and I'm excited to be playing cool games on my zune!
That's my day job. But in my off time I love playing around with C. You can get a lot done with very few lines of code. I swear, C is so much fun they should make it a controlled substance.
The team over there has done an amazing job of making game development easy. The framework is straightforward, the hard stuff is largely handled for you, and they've released a ton of samples aimed at teaching you the various aspects of game development.
Start at creators. If you don't have Visual Studio , don't fret. The creators. Click the Education link at the top of the page to find beginner's guides, samples, and how-to's.
In some cases, the installation documentation has information that's not on the Web. Everything I do here will work on all three platforms. The free downloads are all you need to develop for PC or Zune, but Xbox development requires a Premium membership that costs a yearly fee.
While the program this generates doesn't actually say Hello World, it does watch for input, paint the background blue, and exit on demand. If you're expecting something really complicated, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Your entire game infrastructure amounts to around twenty lines of code spread over six functions. Here's a description of those functions. The constructor is just a standard, garden variety C object constructor.
Treat it the same as you would any other one. Initialize is called after your constructor finishes. It lets you do further initialization, especially for things involving the graphics system. UnloadContent is called on game exit and lets you unload your content. But, since the unloading of most images and sounds is handled for you, you generally don't need to do anything here.
Update is probably the place where game development differs most from normal app development. Instead of a message loop, games regularly poll their input, calculate what to do with it, and then draw the result of those calculations. Most of that happens in Update, so this is where most of your code will live.
That's it. Even though the program is very short, it starts, paints the screen blue, reads input, and exits when you hit the back button. What's that? Did you think game development would be hard?
That was easy, but a blue background that exits does not make for a compelling game. You need actual images if you're going to have a game. Thankfully, putting pictures on the screen isn't difficult.
In a minute I'm going to show you the code, but first you need to load an image into your project. In Visual Studio, you should have a window called Solution Explorer if you don't, you can find it under the View menu. From here you can point it at any.
Let's assume you have a picture of a person called player. Figure 1 shows the code to display that image on the screen. Before I explain those lines, let's talk lingo. As such, it's all based on 3D graphics. So you'll see 3D terms sprinkled around your code.
For instance, while sprite is the normal term for an image in a 2D game, the word texture comes from 3D gaming.
