    Yes, you hate change, I know. But, V3arcade has become a joke.

    Reasons to not use it:
    - There are no games available anywhere for it, except a few shady people "selling packs". Many of these are illegally converted games.
    - Updates look unlikely, even when they are, still no games or support.
    - http://www.v3arcade.com and see for yourself. People looking for games and support, no answers. No content, etc.
    - Always possible that there will be an install\conversion problem and loss of all data including high scores.

    Reasons to upgrade:
    - ibProarcade is supported and updated and has all the same features.
    - A convertor is available to upgrade so we dont lose scores and games: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=119704
    - info on arcade: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101554
    - Some of the games available: http://www.pnflashgames.com/module-pnfgdownload.phtml
    - 4,000+ games are supposed to be available.
    - Won mod of the month

    The new arcade is now functioning, though there are some glitches. Let me work these out, then I will add more games. In the meantime, to the reader, its working as intended.

    Glad you like it. I just fixed 1 of 3 install problems thanks to Philipp. I will begin categorizing and adding games later today.

    Just a question on the slot games. Says I need to visit cashier to get some money. When I click on cashier, nothing happens? Is this being worked on yet, or am I doing something wrong.

    And, no, I am not sending money to any of you...lol

    One things I noticed on some of the Yeti games (probably applies to others), is if you see the number of games played but no playing time recorded for the game, the game itself is not being fully loaded and really can't be played. Don't know if it's on my end or something that needs to be cleaned/cleared up on this end. Obviously, if there is playing time recorded (others have played it) I can play the game.

    Ken3, having same problem. I see it works for some, maybe latest Shockwave is needed...?

    Casino games are back, or I added a new section. I hid the IBProCasino games in anticipation of the mod. The mod allows you to have a daily bank, and when the money is gone, you can't play anymore. Pretty neat, hopefully someone is porting it soon.

    Few more categories added today. I am adding one more later, then we can address non workign games, etc.
