Hi, Since Parallels 3.0 features experimental DirectX Shader Support, I tried to run XNA. Game.Run() triggers the following exception: System.ArgumentException wurde nicht behandelt. Message="The device name is not valid. Device names are in the form \\\\.\\\\DEVICE1\r\nParameter name: ...

We wrote a particle system for our xna game, which runs fine on the pc. On the pc we can display up to 12000 particles at 60fps on a 2.4Ghz with 2GB of RAM. But on the 360 we can display a maximum of 2500 particles at 60fps.   We tried various perfomance optimizations: ref Texture2D foreach -> forr replace ...

Can somebody confirm, that XNA runs o.k. for 2D Development using either Parallels or Vmware on a MBP with 256mb grafik memory and vista ins bootcamp?

Sry, I meant the current Wallpaper..thnx

Can we access image files on the Zune?

Thank you for the information. Mhm, actually I did not intend to use it ^^ I just asked out of curiousity. But what about ''graphical usage of your zune'' which artists takes how much space etc.

Ok, now I got a question, too: By ''Access to music'', will we get access to ID3 tags and filesizes.too? thankalot

U can make your own sprite Class, where u can define the positions in percent 0f-1f so 0.5f is always the center of the screen.   I need help with question 1, too
