I have offered what I think to be good rationale why this hack in defunct. Some of you agree and others don't, seeming to suggest it be kept around for the various individual webmasters or board owners to decide if they want to use it. This also seems to suggest that we should keep some hacks around that contain traps so people can fall in them. A good joke or two or two never hurt anyone, right? Well, of course, I say wrong and I would think most others would as well.

I agree with the others that Deschevious site is not the answer unless you just like to throw away money.

Thanks to all who have gave links to games.

LOL this hack is defunct? Riiiight ;)

I just downloaded 500+ games for this thing. We've got a 239 page thread full of people helping each other out with coding problems and finding games. Just because the creator of this hack no longer has a functioning website does not make this hack any less valuable.

Deschevious's site... I have never paid for a game for this thing, nor will I ever. His site DOES have plenty of excellent additions to the arcade though as far as modifications.

V3Arcade isn't dead... there's still plenty of folks updating the game selections and various mods. Heck, there's a bunch of people hosting games for everyone to download. I can fully understand the webmaster of v3 shutting down the website if people kept ignoring copyright issues. I got some stern warnings on my old political site because a few members kept posting published articles out of context, or they would not list the source. I ended up wiping out the whole thing rather than deal with the hassles and letters from legal departments.

As far as Deschevious's site goes: I subscribed for the first month and I saw where he would get a bunch more long term members if he lowered the additional monthly fee to like $5 a month (after the initial $25). I was on it for a month and like most people I got a ton of games, a great new look for my arcade, but once I had the games that I wanted I just could not see plopping down $15 a month for just a handful of new releases.

I'd recommend it for anyone who want a variety of games (you can only have so many version of pacman and tetris!) $25 was kind of steep, but it was good for a single month and I grabbed quite a few newer game releases. Unless you know of another site that offers an updated selection of properly modded games.

My only complaint was the support was almost nil. I was wanting the basics for changing over a .swf game to run in v3arcade, and so did quite a few others, but no one ever posted much in the way of assistance.


And in closing I'll be sure to upload the latest Yeti game Yeti #8!

I'm sure it may be worth it for some, but I do not believe that people should be making money out of the distribution of games which are not theirs, for a hack which is not theirs - which is what I believe is happening :(

True. I never thought of it that way. I was just looking at it from a service point of view.

Please, can help me?
i edit the game description and the description disapear form Admin CP and it locks, it cannot be re editable again but in the description of the arcade page apears as i wrote, but is not editable anymore

any one know how to fix this?

What can i do? is there bad comnunicate between db and arcadeadmin.php?
any ideas?

How can I put the module news after the module Welcome, juste below it ?

Where are there 500+ games? I use this hack and don't want to change.

Are there any path changes for using this on a site with VBPortal???

Anything else that might cause arcade.php to contain nothing??? It appears that all the templates were installed etc but still nothing... Is it possible this could be a permission issue or a path issue??
