Love this mod a lot better than IPB.

Make sure your forumroot/admincp/games, forumroot/images/arcade and forumroot/games are CHMOD 777

If you want to install v3arcade type games (zip format) or IPB type games (tar format) upload the said files to your admincp/games folder. Then in AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>

Choose the Mass Import option that coincides with what game type you uploaded and click Start.

If you are installing games manually (already converted but not in zip or tar format), go to AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>Manually Add Game and fill in the details

For example-

The .swf gets uploaded to your games folder and the two images (one 20*20px and one 50*50px) get uploaded to your images/arcade folder.

Game Title: simple enough ie Pacman
Description: blah blah blah
Game System: you would need to know what type on conversion they were made for
Shortname: pacman
Game SWF File: ie pacman.swf
Height: varies per game
Width: as above
Standard Thumbnail Image: ie pacman1.jpg
Miniature Mode Thumbnail Image : ie pacman2.jpg
Then fill in the last couple of details.

For Mochi Games read through this post (parts 6 & 7) - http://www.v3arcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1934

Once you have set up your Mochi account, you have access to thousands of games and the install process is as easy as clicking a few buttons
