Hello Guys
I wonder if any of you here is an oldschool nerd that would love (like myself) to have an MSX emulator on their Pocket PC
Anyone is up for this?!
I really would love to play Zanac & Castle on my PPC, anyone has the time & knowledge to do this?
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
All the best
Emulator
I found these
http://www.zophar.net/ppc/msx.html
I tried them both, they both run on my Universal but both could not run the ROMs I loved & still love (I play with them sometimes on my laptop with a special MSX emulator )
Have any of you tried these before?!
Can I be rude and ask if anyone is interested in the first place? As I didn't get any reply to the topic (when I thought that the site is full of old school nerds like myself )
Cheers Mates!!
Yeh that would be a good thing.
While me mates had speccies, i had a good old msx! Never waited for games to load like me mates had to cos of the good old cartridge slot! Hehe!
Kings Valley 2 anyone?

That was an excellent choice mate!
I myself however prefer Castle, Castle Excellent & Zanac
These were my favorite games (still are lol)
So did you got the chance to try the MSX emulators I have refered to in the previous post? Did they work with you? Do you need Kings Valley 2 ROM file? LOL
Cheers Mate!
Well im at work so will try them later on tonight, my pc is playing up at home so have to get that sorted first.
Nemesis 2 was also a great game, along with F1 Spirit and Knightmare! Hehe! The memories, theyre all flooding back!
Got a few roms thanks, used to use them on me laptop, before i sold it! hehe!
Which msx did you have? I had the toshiba and then the pioneer.

hey did anyone manage to complete salamander's level 6 on their msx?
i never managed to kill the last guardian in level 6?
i also tried to see if using salamander with nemesis II would give the secret new level which would enable me to beat the guardian in level 6 would work, but no luck?
can one play these games on the universal?

I hope your PC is sorted out now & that had the time to try the emulators, please update us when you can.
As for my MSX it was Yamaha
Have a nice weekend

Hello xda_guy,
Well well well LOL, finally I found the nerd generation I belong to
As for Salamandar I couldn't play that because if I remember well, it needed MSX2 and mine was plain old MSX so wouldn't run it
However if you want I remember there is an emulator for PC that has cheating feature in, where you NEVER die if you are curious to see whats after level 6
As for being able to play it on Universal, well this is why the original post is all about, if you check my post where I put a URL, you will find that there are two different MSX emulators for PocketPC, the problem is I tried them both, they both run on my Universal without error messages, but they did NOT operate any ROM (Read Only Memory which are binary file images of the cartridges we used to use in the MSX era, I am not talking about the Universal ROM), so if you got the chance to try them both, and see if they work with you, maybe something is wrong in my Universal ROM, or if I am doing something wrong way, or if I am missing something.
Please whatever you find out, share it with us & maybe if it works, we can organize a nostalgic championship on who would finish a game first or who would go further or anything like that.
Until then, have a great weekend
Cheers
hey cerberu
you finally did find the nerd gen, i am surprised that so many of us had msx computers, my mates only had commodores's and ibm compatible's
i had a sony hitbit 32KB, i believe that was msx. I am just getting used to my universal, so have not downloaded any emulators, do i just download it and install like any other application?
will keep you posted soon as i manage to get something going, have a nice weekend

Hi xda_guy
I am glad I did
I am starting to think a nerd once, a nerd forever LOL
My friends had commodores & sinclairs, then later on some had MSX, as for IBM compatible, they were VERY expensive that era, as with MSX you could use your TV for display so it was more home oriented.
Anyways if I remember well mine was Yamaha AX170 with 64kB (it is funny how these GREAT games (back then at least) were but a few kBs.
As for the emulators it's not even installation, all you need to do is to download them, then copy them into your storage card or device memory, then run them, you will get the usual warning as it can not identify the software publisher, you can run them and they wont ruin your Universal (they didnt ruin mine), the problem is that I believe they were written for previous version of Windows Mobile, thats why I couldnt get them to operate any ROM, my friend is coming back after the weekend from 12 days business trip, he has an i-mate PDA2k, so I will try it on his PocketPC & see, if you had better luck yourself please tell me what did you exactly do, then we will start a Championship (though my boss wont like it for sure LOL).
Finally I would like to add, I found a stand alone VERY old game from Atari 2600 Generation (remember that big black box? Or am I getting back way too back in time? LOL) I was saying I found a PAC-MAN game that is working ok on my Universal, it does not need emulator or anything, it is a stand alone application, if you are interested (or anyone else) please let me know and I will provide the link or upload it.
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)
Cheers & Good night!
hi
i have got a good mind to chane my handle to hitbit_guy , yes, i was using a 14 inch sony as my display yamaha ax170 was more advanced than the sony hitbit if i am not mistaken.
atari2600, that is the original, ah yars revenge was my fave, then along came the atari clone's wow, at some point, the 2600 stood for the number of games "pre-installed". pac-man, yes, very much interested, show me the link. my office mates will be interested

As for display, I used our 20" Sony Trinitron TV (that was really something back then lol, imagine playing your favorite games on that huge display ), I tried to find Emulator for Atari as well LOL, I found one that is distributed as an open source, and I asked a friend who works as games programmer for cellphones to port it for Windows Mobile 2005, will let you know when he is done (if ever LOL), mean while enjoy this (you & your office mates :twisted: dont let the boss catch you LOL)
Good night mate!
thanks for pacman, does it run on hp devices too?
alpha squad, load runner were neat too(there even was a rambo game), however could not get beyond a certain level, the lack of a save functionality on msx killed the chances of completing the games.
i think what will be real cool is playing games during meetings

Good day xda_guy
I am glad you like it, I don't know if it runs on HP devices as I've never tried that, I don't know what their CPU is, and I don't know if it has to do with that, I tried to look for the site of where I got the Pac Man from but I wasn't able to, anyways if I remember well it was designed (if I am not wrong) for ARM CPUs, if HP uses ARM, then I guess since its same software & same hardware, I guess it would work, anyways, you can wait till tomorrow & let one of your office mates with HP PPC try it & let us know
As for Load Runner, absolutely true, it was one of the games I liked (I like puzzle & brainteasing games) the only thing I hated about Load Runner was it lacked music, and it's characters were way too small even for the 20" TV display LOL.
Rambo, nope not my style but my friends liked it, and yes I agree that save game was a missing very important feature, Castle & Castle Excellent did have save game (they charge you for one life to save though), I am trying to remember, did Kings Valley had codes on which you can start from next level if you finished them successfully, or was it just 'The Lost Viking' game for Amiga & PC that did that?!
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)
Cheers
hey cerberus
wil try pacman on the hp and will let you know, perhaps it was compiled for the unversal platform and will nto work on the hp?

Hey xda_guy
to be honest, this is the first time EVER since I've joined XDA Developers, that I came to such shock, I was literally :shock: :shock: :shock: you dont know castle & castle excellent??!!!
Dude the main reason I want MSX emulator is because I never had the chance to finish Castle Excellent back them (I did finish Castle though), you might want to check these links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_(game)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Excellent
You know the word addiction?! Castle games were my addiction back then (not that things changed much since that time LOL, like I said earlier, a nerd once a nerd forever )
Now whenever the MSX Emulator works for our Universal, I want to ask you to download Castle & we will play & he who finishes first is the winner.
As for HP & PacMan please post your experience here, it might not help me myself as I dont have HP, but it might help others who might want to try the game on their PPC.
Have a great last few hours of weekend
Hello xda_guy
any updates?!
Hello cereberus
sorry for the late reply. work has been a nightmare last one week
i checked out castle, looks interesting and addictive , unfortunately work has taken up most of my time, will install the emulator tomorrow and give it a whirl.
i dont think my colleague tried pacman on hp, he was overwhelmed with work, the boss is away next week so i will ask him to give it a try if he has not tried already
Does anyone else have the problem of Spiderman Mayhem freezing everytime you try to start the Mystery Infection Invades City level?
*Play your copy of Spiderman up until the part where it starts freezing.
*Backup your sd card copy if you want to save it for when or if Gameloft ever fixes Spiderman.
*Unzip download below and replace your Spiderman file inside the Gameloft folder on your SD card with new file.
*Say yes when it asks to replace.
*Turn on your WI-FI and connect to a WI-FI network.
*Launch your Spiderman Mayhem Game.
*When it says it needs to download more data, say YES.
*When its done, play the game.
This allows you to bypasses the Mystery Infection level and starts you on the next level.
You will not be able to play Mystery Infection (Octorama) level on the tab EVER!! Or at least until Gameloft fixes the game. There is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. Unfortunately, you will not be able to fight Doc Oc, either. Drag I know.
AGAIN, there is something wrong with all the Doc Oc. levels. During no point, on any save location along this level, have I been able to load it on my tab.
So I passed it for you, and now you can "finish" this awsome game.
Also, another unfortunate.... this is MY game save progress. MY upgrades, and all that.
Bummer.
Well now you can continue to play this awsome game and also play with the black suit! Its great, but you still have to earn it.
Also, when you beat the game and get the suit and start the game again, DO NOT PLAY THE MYSTERY INFECTION LEVEL, Also known as OCTO-RAMA!!!, it will freeze up again like your game is now, just pick the next level.
I know this isn't the best workaround, but at least its something......
Download this here: http://www.4shared.com/file/3tMMpjQl/Spiderman.html
ENJOY!!!
Please let my know if there are any issues, or if someone can help isolate the files needed to bypass but so players can keep their stats.
*This does not include the game, buy your own.....
If I helped, hit the thanks button!!
Are you using the galaxy tab version?
spiderman mayhem
Yes i am using the game for the tab that was actually purchased through gameloft on my tab. It is 130 here. I am gonna sleep and post the fix/workaroind tom. Play the game up till the freeze on mystery infection level. This fix will alow you to skip that part and continue on with the game. I am playing right now with the venom suit its awsome. Just needed to know that there is alittle interest before I go through the work of posting it. Your power ups might change, and be replased by mine, but mine are almost maxed out.
UPDATE: So I played back around back up to the Mystery Infection level in the venom suit. It froze again. The level is called something like Octorama or something. Just dont select this once i post the work around, until we can figure out why this happens on this level.

Its not a fix, but a way to get to the next point and finish the game. Lets face it, this game is awesome and needs to be played, and Gameloft is not doing anything to fix it. They still sell the broken game though.

Sorry about the wait guys, I returned from work today and my comp and tab are refusing to communicate. Since I have to transfer large files from my internal SD to comp and back a few times to create the workaround, I need to fix this first.
I also had the same problem, really frustrating. I contacted their support and this is the response I got.
Hi
I have a samsung galaxy tab and trying to play spiderman hd. When I try to play level 6 the game crashes. I can manually select level 1-5 and it plays fine but level 6 always causes force close.

Please stop giving me the run around and forward this issue to the developers so they can begin debugging and release a fix. This is not the first device this is happening on.
If the developers need some more info like crash logs let me know. I'm not a developer but I can follow instructions and copy log files if needed.

To see games selection, please go to our site by entering Gameloft.com into the search engine of your (WAP) browser directly on your phone.
I would love to see this fixed or at least be able to play the game till the end.
Thanks
See the problem is that gameloft is actively selling a game they know doesnt work.

Typical Gameloft. They sold games for the Desire eventhough they knew it wasn't capable of true multi touch. I emailed them and they stated they were aware of this issue before they even ported the game to the device. But they claimed it was so Desire users 'could enjoy the game's
How can you enjoy a game if you can't play it? They are ridiculous.

Thank you very much. It works now.
Once I replaced my files with yours and did the wi-fi update, I started the game and continue my game and it start me out at the level where there are green goblin men which I have not seen before.
My son got to the that "infected level" and it force close and had no idea why. He is only 4 and a half years old but he is pretty good at this Spiderman game. I just told him that he has reached the end of the game when it force closes.
Now he will be able to play the game again but I guess I have to tell him that I was wrong about him finishing the game.
Anyway, thanks for the fix.

Your welcome. I wish everyone could fight doc oc but atleast there is new life breathed into the game. Doc oc was the second to last level and you are now on the last level. Once you beat the game, go to choose level. Then choose the little t shirt on the uper left. There is your venom suit! Its like a new game with the black suit. Dont forget to skip the level where it froze when you come back around.
Is this thread still wanted? or can I take this off of my 4shared?
Woah.. Don't remove it yet! I thought my data got corrupted and I reinstalled the whole game, starting from scratch.
At least now I know it is a software issue!
Cool. No worries. Just checking. And also i know tbat threads get lost, and this brought it back up to the top.

This is a tip i just found for modern combat 2 on the xperia play.., this is using a genuine copy of modern combat 2 on a stock xperia play ...
I bought the game this morning went to play it and all i got was FORCE CLOSE (process com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftBPHP.ML) GRRRRRRR! So after trawling through google for 30mins i found some dude who had a way to get it working...
1..open the game with pad slid in (in the apps menu) it might work with the pad slid out too
2.. then youll get force close blah blah blah...click close or ok or whatever
3.. now hold on your home key so recent apps appear on screen
4.. now click modern combat 2 in recent apps and it works!!!
hope this helps somebody cos i was pissed off when mine didnt work, thanks goto some dude on a random forum i tripped up on.
if this is old news delete this thread BUT if its useful to ya, gimme a HELL YEAH!!!
Hell yeah ? !
hell yeah? its a pretty inexcusable workaround to a problem that shouldn't exist. after paying for something that was supposed to be tailor made to my device i expect it to work properly without having to resort to some bogus workaround.
plan to be more careful when purchasing gameloft games in the future because the response they gave me was more of the same, and that is just weak IMHO.
All mine work just fine
yeah i agree it should work without the need of this, but itll do for me till they have a proper fix, maybe theyll patch the game. it might be my end because i installed some bogus versions of the game first that i later uninstalled but maybe they might have upset it abit lol...
anyway man just done 30mins multiplayer on capture the flag with about 8-10 in the server and was surprised how good it was, oh i had to register via my laptop with gameloft live cos trying to register in the game caused FORCE CLOSE again, but once registered u can log in and it all works good
see u on the battlefield soldiers ill stab u all in the boob
I had this problem, i kicked up a fuss and gameloft gave me an extra game for free!
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
I had the same problem and this does works (HI5!) however I agree that its not acceptable on the part of Gameloft. This game was advertised on this device and it was in the Xperia Play app, clearly its just a minor bug that could have caused havoc, and I have also told Gameloft what I think (hopefully a free game!).
Hopefully I will see you guys playing online.

But good idea for posting it here it will get seen more and be more helpful to people having this problem.
I noticed it force closes when the os does something like say you press the home button it will force close and you will have to start again from your last save which is annoying. This problem must be down to a conflict with the SE software as problems still exist with phone rooted and debranded.
Auauaua, great!!!!

This is great. I had no idea.

Same problem on SGS2!
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and (much to my surprise!) this work around actually WORKS!
Just debating whether to accept the free game they've offered me and carry on playing! Its really bad that Gameloft are allowing this to happen, so I wont feel too bad.
What's the debate? Just pick the free game and play the two. The cost for Gameloft to send you a link to another game is 0: plus, the glitch is their fault in the first place, and they seem lazy to correct it. If they're too lazy to give you proper service, why should you get restless about exploiting their policies?
Hahah i discovered this by myself thinking that I had solved a worldwide issue I searched for forums to announce my discovery and tell everyone to get a free game as well
Unfortunately you beat me to it but I still suggest everyone get a free game for their **** up on not being able to code properly for fking android.

This happens to a lot of my Gameloft games.
I've sent Gameloft an email about this, but never got a reply
Asphalt 6 HD should be able to move to SD, it is too heavy, I mean why don't the developers understand that Android is not run in Iphones .
Isn't there any one here who can deliver this message to the developers at Gameloft, because they probably don't use phones themselves (at least not Android) .
Raise the voice, our slogan is " GO ASPHALT GO, GO TO SD "
There are much better causes to raise our voices.
If it bothers you so much, uninstall it and use something else. Need for Speed games are free now too.
Much better, like what, economic crisis huh !!! .
Can't delete, I love it more than NFS, besides they are not free I think, just trial periods.
By raising voice, I am not asking for a riot but to spread the word, because this is a serious issue being faced by Android users, and probably the only reason why some people prefer Iphone despite its whole list of drawbacks. Even Nokia has started to increase the internal memory size, we on the other hand have SDs, all I am asking for is to actually use it. The way I see it nothing is impossible in the world of software. If certain apps can be moved to SD, then why not the rest?
If we don't say it then the developers probably would never know the issues. Asphalt is a great game, we all love it. But this is affecting the market.
And just kidding about the MUCH BETTER ISSUES, you are truly correct.
Thanks.

By raising voice, I am not asking for a riot but to spread the word, because this is a serious issue being faced by Android users, and probably the only reason why some people prefer Iphone despite its whole list of drawbacks. Even Nokia has started to increase the internal memory size, we on the other hand have SDs, all I am asking for is to actually use it. The way I see it nothing is impossible in the world of software. If certain apps can be moved to SD, then why not the rest?
If we don't say it then the developers probably would never know the issues. Asphalt is a great game, we all love it. But this is affecting the market.
And just kidding about the MUCH BETTER ISSUES, you are truly correct.
Thanks.

The NFS games are absolutely free. If you got the trial version you downloaded the wrong one. Look at the end of the threads on them and go to that link. Or go to the SE facebook page there is a link there.
As for Asphalt 6 the reason you can't move to SD is because its pre-installed just like the other games that came with your phone. Theres nothing you can do about it and its not going to change.... unless you root your phone.

Use the pm SetInstallLocation 2 command in ADB. reboot, then Ashpalt and alot of other games will be able to move to the SD Card!

Sorry I forgot to mention I am a newbie to Android, so I don't understand what pm, SetInstallLocation 2 , ADB is.
By reboot you mean turn-off and turn-on, right?
And by the way is this method you mentioning, legal I mean official, I mean it would not violate the warranty, would it?

BUT. This is not going to work for Asphalt 6 or any other game that came with the phone. Just giving you the heads up.
Or get link2sd app if you're rooted and you can avoid typing command line.
PS. is Kate still a hottie?

Kate Middleton or Kate from the LOST island?

Asphalt 6 HD should be able to move to SD, it is too heavy, I mean why don't the developers understand that Android is not run in Iphones .
Isn't there any one here who can deliver this message to the developers at Gameloft, because they probably don't use phones themselves (at least not Android) .
Raise the voice, our slogan is " GO ASPHALT GO, GO TO SD "

Just in case you dont know, Android phones can carry more space then an Iphone. Sadly the Xperia Play got ripped off with its 380mb internal storage, but 376mb can be obtained and usable after root/deletebloat/mod dalvik.
Most high end Android will blow the doors off an Iphone and most high end Androids come with 16g internal and can use 32g sd cards. Thats 48g vs Iphones 32g
You can move Asphalt to sd if you root and punch a few codes in terminal emulator.

The Xbox Music app for Windows 8 is built using the WinRT runtime, which is not available on Windows 7. To my knowledge this is not possible, also with an app like Xbox Music, I think hacking around that would be a bad idea for various reasons. Furthermore, the entire app 'experience' (full screen, metro driven environment) is not even remotely supported in Windows 7, so assuming you could 'trick' the WinRT backend onto Windows 7, the OS and App are not going to get along well at all, let alone if all of this was done somehow, I peg the chances of buying/streaming/etc actually working as close to 0.
I have Windows 8 Pro, custom build, nothing special though and even with this I can't stream or purchase song's on my Windows 8 Xbox Music app, despite hours of troubleshooting, there is quite a bit going on in the background for apps like Xbox Music.
Apologies, if that was more information than you wanted, anyhow that's my take on this. Hope it helps.
Why would you *want* to, though? Xbox Music is a crap app compared to what it "replaces", the Zune app. Zune runs great on Win7 (and also runs on Win8, in desktop mode) and is still available for download from http://zune.net. Xbox Music Pass and Zune Pass are the same thing; I can still stream and download my music using either app... but where Xbox Music is likely to tell me that for some reason it can't play the track, or to stutter or lag when picking or switching songs, Zune is capable of such crazy and advanced features as playing a Smart DJ list based on a specific song, rather than just based on an artist, and you can mark songs as "disliked" to avoid them playing again.
MS seriously screwed the pooch with their Xbox Music app on the PC... and for Windows RT, you can't even go back to Zune! Possibly my biggest disappointment in the new OS.
i just need it, you can't understand, many of us need it, if you dont like it, others will do.
It could be emulated.
I'm just confused what feature of the new app you're looking for. For *everything* that I've found except usability with a touchscreen, Zune is better. If you have a touchscreen, you should definitely be running Win8 anyhow. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll help you if I can, but I'm not going to put effort into supporting an inferior app on an older platform for the sake of "i just need it, you can't understand"!

How incredibly closed minded that is. How do you know I can't understand? just a tip, insulting peoples intelligence is no way to get help.
ok i didnt wanted to say there but there is a song of a good friend, JUST BECAUSE of THAT ! Only There
simple as hell, i cant and i dont want to get windows 8 (other reasons and dont ask for them too)
i know its a simple job porting that app for a good developer as you all are in here (many)
i know Zune is better but i dont know why microsoft is cutting the limit of windows 7
i can also pay if you can emulate or port or extract that app so that its working on windows 7, you dont have to reply if you dont know how to do it or annoy me asking why i want it (as now you know it but still trynna continue )
sorry but true story

It's a javascript/HTML app. Porting is possible, but difficult, and I don't believe anyone actually cares enough to do it. If it's that important to you, do it yourself, or convince someone you know to do it. Also note that it will be illegal.

finally a better answer
hacking anything without premission is illegal, so thats not a problem, but no one cares, as the internet exists
and as i said, i would pay, so if someone can do that simple job of a pro developer, you can contact me.
i bet someday some one will do this, i just want to boost this ! ;D
PS : i know more than the basics of Javascript and HTML, but it isnt enough, maybe i give a try, but anyway, i dont have windows 8, so could anyone extract it and upload it so devs can start deving ! ? !

It's better to send your enthusiasm to another direction. Looks like you can't even imagine how is it difficult.
Though mb after hundreds of years you'll achieve something.
Meh. A lot of the stuff that goes on XDA-Devs is illegal somewhere, often right here in the USA. So long as it doesn't really piss off the big companies or the government (and I mean *really* piss off, not "meh, they aren't worth the effort" grade of annoyance) though, it's usually fine. Keep it justifiably clean. For example, porting a free app from one OS to another - even without the developer's permission - seems perfectly reasonable, especially if you leave any in-app advertising intact.
I still don't understand why this is desired, though. The OP doesn't quite seem to understand that people are trying to help solve his or her problem. There's no need to get defensive. When I ask "why", it's not "you're an idiot for wanting this"; it's "this is hard and there's probably a better way to do whatever you're trying to do". So... there's a song. It's on the Xbox Music marketplace but not the Zune marketplace? That's weird, since so far as I've seen thus far they are completely identical right down to the top downloaded songs lists at any given time (meaning MS doesn't distinguish between them on the server side). Please actually explain what the problem is, if you want people to help you.
Frankly, I expect most of us see the Xbox Music app as crap and/or Win7 as legacy and boring. There are plenty of challenges in the new OS that are much more interesting; flattering our skills and offering the appeal of a challenge only works when people are looking for something to do. Personally, I would *much* rather spend my time trying to get Pidgin running on Windows RT (to replace the broken built-in messenger) than try to get the awful Xbox Music app running on an OS that I'm using less and less... and it's a more interesting challenge, too.
Oh, one more thing that people seem to forget a lot (especially the newcomers): XDA-Devs is a *developer* forum. It is not a "make my phone|tablet|PC|whatever really cool!" forum. Nor is it a feature request forum, a tech support forum, a ranting-and-raving forum, or a piracy forum. In fact, requesting most of those is against the forum rules to one degree or another. If you're posting a new thread in dev&hacking, you should be offering something you developed, a hack you found, or something else of that nature.
I'd like to point out that not all hacking is illegal.
If you do t know how to do it and know one seems enthused about, it seems you're SOL
What ever you say, i only can be satisfied if i get the app working on Windows 7, what you say is just leaving comments, i dont give any **** what you think is illegal or not. One of you simply said its HTML and Javascript, and you think that is hard as hell ? I cant confirm and i can bet it isn't just JS and HTML as it's a mix of Zune, iTunes, Spotify, but YOU said this, and YOU wanted to talk.
You cant ask for reasons if you wont understand. So you dont have to post me posts that i wont read.
Do it or leave without comment, damn. PM me if you are interested.
Ok, keep me in the loop

It's not run of the mill JS and HTML, that part would be easy. The hard part is that that JS and HTML requires custom libraries that aren't present in Windows 7, and backporting them would be damn near impossible.

you keep saying that we won't understand, just tell us rather than being all cryptic. Name the one reason that you need the xbox music app cause as GoodDayToDie said, the content is identical (I just checked myself) the only difference being that zune is much more useful.
EDIT: Would I be wrong in saying it is because you want the 30 day trial from xbox music rather than the 14 day trial you get in zune?
I already SAID the reason DUDE, just read the text, BUT you still dont do and continue annoyin ****
you all talkin ****, im searching professional devs, which could get paid if they want to, you all are noobs (except GoodDay2Die, who never said its hard, just asked for reason, that i answered and maybe its not his area)
i dont think that back porting libraries are that hard though, and still don't believe that Xbox Music is just HTML, JS, as Zune is in native code and Xbox Music is upgraded stuff of that. JS is impossible in here, unlogic pure. Net, silverlight, any thing is in there, and again i dont have this, i just saw some images, and no one confirmed or extracted that.
Still talking **** ?!

It's not happening, you obviously don't have the skill, and any serious dev is just going to laugh at you. It would be an insane amount of work to do this, and I doubt that you have the budget to do it. Use the Zune app, upgrade to Windows 8, or go without. You obviously don't understand WinRT, and now you're just being an ass. The devs here do things on a voluntary basis and no one is going to help you when you're rude, and seemingly don't understand the vastness of what you're asking at all.
