Parallels 4.0 and XNA?

[SamJohnson]

I purchased Parallels 3.0 for XNA development while running OS X. Unfortunately 3.0 couldn't actually run XNA games. They would all fail at runtime with this error:

System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message="The device name is not valid. Device names are in the form \\\\.\\\\DEVICE1\r\nParameter name: screenDeviceName"
Source="Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game"

Has anyone been tried running XNA games with 4.0? I'd like someone to confirm XNA works before I pay to upgrade...

Thanks,

Sam

We have such feature request for version for, developers are investigating situation

Are there any Prallels Visual Studio users that would be willing to test this with Parallels version 4? Installing XNA and running a sample project is very simple, if you're familiar with Visual Studio.

Thanks,

Sam

I've got Parallels 4, and Visual Studio installed. I'd be more than happy to try working with your XNA projects and lett ing you know if they work or not. I'm running a Windows2003 server via Parallels 4, by the way.

Has anyone tried this? I want to start some XNA development and I want to use my Mac.
