    Is it not supported by zune?

    Error 1 Building content threw ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The target platform "Zune" is invalid. Supported values are Windows, Xbox360.
    Parameter name: context
    Actual value was Zune.

    No. The Zune has no GPU and as such cannot use those effects. That's what the content pipeline was telling you is that you can only build effects for Windows or Xbox 360; not Zune.

    I wonder if you could write something to do a bloom-like effect with spritebatch stuff? I haven't looked into any Zune stuff yet, so I have no idea of its limitations. Can you use .fx stuff whatsoever? I know SpriteBatch is really a shader, maybe the zune is limited to only that one shader.

    No shaders whatsoever. I believe SpriteBatch was re-implemented on Zune without any shaders as well. So to do any sort of effects, you'd have to write some C# code to manipulate textures to get the effect. Thankfully it's not as slow as modifying textures on PC/360 where it has to get the data from a GPU, but I'm not sure how many cycles you can dedicate to something like that and still get decent performance elsewhere.

    On the other hand, that error message isn't exactly the most intuitive in the world :-)

    I'll file a bug for us to improve it.
