I am relatively new to this, but know enough to maintain a healthy board. I just don't want to mess my arcade up as it is now---it works!

NumberGuy,

Before you doing anything, make a backup copy of your vB database! That is always the first to be done before any type of update to your site.

After that follow the steps here carefully. The most important things to remember are (a) backups, backups, backups, and (b) not to uninstall your existing arcade until you are comfortable with how your new v3A installation is working.

For the .tar files question, do you mean installing new games or existing games? If you mean existing games then those .tar files unpacked during installation and the original .tar files remove. That's the way it works with both your existing arcade and v3A. Check the /games folder on your server and you can find the actual games files. As long as you do not uninstall or delete anything from your server then everything should be imported fine and, if need be, reverted back to your existing arcade.
