I have a few ideas as to where it could go next, especially as far as convenience, but suggestions are welcome as well as reports of glitches.

You may notice a flicker of the number score the first time you view it. This is not your device, and it doesn’t seem to be a result of my programming. It does not mean anything is wrong, at all.

The controls are obvious from the overlay, except that to access the menu while playing a game, you have to touch where the game is displaying (upper part of the screen).

Also, be sure to add your own NES ROMs to the ROMs folder before deploying(.nes extension)(Thumbnails are a .pnp extension).

Current Features:

• Start at 20 life
• Ability for infinitely large and small amounts of life (at least as far as you would ever want to go)
• Reset Life to 20
• Increase/Decrease life with tap
• Increase/Decrease life with extended hold

Planned Features:

• Increase/Decrease life with scroll
• Multiplayer score keeper
• Counter Tracker
• Menu’s

Controls:

This App is really easy to use. Just tap the top half of the screen to increase life or the bottom half to reduce life. This reduces the life by 1. If you hold the top or bottom down it will increase periodically. Tapping the mana symbols at the top will cause the game to reset to 20 life.

This app liberates your Zune HD’s display to allow you to run applications and games that render using GDI, DirectDraw or OpenGL ES 2.0. However, many things will not work without adding additional libraries that they need in order to run. (The most common ones are included.)

To find software that has been found to work so far, please see the Liberate Compatibility List. If you find that software that works, please add it to the table.

Anything that was made to work on Windows CE devices (StrongARM or ARM CPU) has a chance of working. If it was made for MIPS or SH3/SH4, it will definitely not work. Also, Windows Mobile software might work, but has a much lower chance of working.

Users can use the File Deployer to deploy their own files to use with Liberate. Just add your files to the Content folder, and deploy it. It will run automatically. Your files will be deployed to /Flash2/Files. A shortcut to that folder will appear on the Liberate desktop after running File Deployer, however rebooting will cause the shortcut to disappear. Your files will stay in /Flash2/Files and you will still be able to access them by double-tapping “My Device”, “Flash2″, then “Files”.

Developers could create OpenZDK games/apps (or port existing software) that use GDI or OpenGL ES 2.0 and create a shortcut in Start -> Programs so users could run this app, then launch software through the Start menu.

Update:
-Added Wi-Fi timeout fix. (Thanks to svxs.)
-Enabled multi-touch and accelerometer use within Liberate through a service. (Refer to the Multi-touch test to see how it is done).
-Any CABs can now be installed by double-tapping them.
-Two touches cause the next single touch to be a right-click. Three touches disable/enable this functionality.

Yet to come: (in likely order)
-Backing up of Start menu shortcuts.
-Backing up of apps’ Registry entries.
-More options for right-clicking.

Note: When the app is run, Explorer will show and then after a few seconds, the screen will become black for a second. Try not to touch the screen while it is black. If you do touch it, it will stay black. In that case, simply press the Home button once to fix it. Also, avoid pressing the Home button when the screen is not black or holding the power button (except to reboot the Zune), as doing so might cause the input to stop working.

Regarding CABs:
To install them, double-click them. Install them to a folder on /Flash2, otherwise the files will disappear after rebooting and they might not even install properly.

If it says there is not enough space, click “no” and install it anyway. If it says that it is not compatible (but the program is supposed to be compatible with ARM), install it anyway.

If it says that it is “not a valid Windows CE setup file”, that probably because it is compressed. In that case, you would need to find one that is not compressed, or try extracting the files with MSCEInf and see if they work.
