Hi, I want to ask you about regional restrictions referring to programming (developing) games for the Zune HD 32 GB. What I am focusing here on are restrictions put on XBOX-360 game programming. According to these, one must be a member of the Creators Club to be able to upload and run XBOX-360 self-developed games on the console. But, to get the membership is not possible when based in the Czech Republic as I am now. In short terms, my question is whether I will be able to develop, upload and run games on the above given Zune model in the Czech Republic with respect to the above mentioned restrictions regulating XBOX-360 game development. Thanks for your replies?

I am looking to download a few games and play them on my Zune HD. I can’t get my computer to read the “.ccgame” files. Is there any way you can help me I tryed to drop them into Microsoft Visual C# Express, but it gives me an error. “There is no editor available” “Make sure the application for the file type (.ccgame) is installed.” Do you know anyway I can get this thing working ?

I am trying to install the calendar on my Zune HD. I am following the instructions on how to install this app but after I download the calendar app I try to open it in VisualC++ but I can´t get it to open. The app comes in a format that I cannot unzip-instead it automaticcla recognizes it as a NNA Game studio file. I can´t deploy the app from Visual C++ to my Zune HD. None the less the Zune screen indicates that something is deploying automatically and when I reboot the Zune I get a thumbnail of a calendar in my apps but it doesn´t really work. I am just confused. Any help?

A new keyword for Zune HD is Zune skills. What is it, what does it do, is it related to building and deploying apps and games.?

I have a Zune HD and I followed the directions for installing the games from the pdf file. I had both apps open XNE Game was connected and had microsoft visual C open. when I went to open the app and game files to extract them by double clicking, it installed them instead using XNE.. the files loaded fine but every file that installed does not work, when i start them they reboot the Zune Just to be clear the files install from XNE not from the Visual C window.?
