For IBPro Games (tar) and v3a (zip)
There are tons of sites that supply 'converted' games that work with the arcade, IPB v32 games which come as .tar files and v3 Arcade games which are .zip files - you simply upload the .tar or .zip files to your 'admincp/games' folder via FTP and then in AdminCP>v3Arcade>Import Games>Choose the Mass Import option that coincides with either .tar or .zip and click Start.

Mochi Games
This thread explains how to setup and install Mochi games - http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46531

Manually Install Games
If the files are just .swf you would need to add them manually and would also need to upload 2 images to go with each game. To do this the .swf gets uploaded to your 'forumroot/games' folder and the two images (one 20*20px and one 50*50px) get uploaded to your 'images/arcade' folder. You would then need to go into your AdminCP>v3Arcade>Install Games>Manually Add Game, then fill in the details........

Using Pacman as an example

Game Title: simple enough ie Pacman
Description: blah blah blah
Category: You choose
Game Shortname: If the swf is pacman.swf the shortname is pacman
Game System: Mochi, v3 Arcade or IBPro
Description: Eat dots. Kill ghosts
Instructions: Arrow keys to move.
Keywords: dots, ghosts, classic, retro, pacman
Game SWF File: pacman.swf
Height: 400 (varies per game)
Width: 550 (varies per game)
Standard Thumbnail Image: pacman1.jpg (uploaded to images/arcade)
Miniature Mode Thumbnail Image: pacman2.jpg (uploaded to images/arcade)

Then fill in the last couple of details.

Firstly you would need to know if the .swf had been decompiled and altered to allow submission of scores to either v3arcade or IPB Arcade, unaltered .swf won't record scores. Mochi games can be uploaded using the exact same process.

*Can't post any sites where you can obtain IPB games on vbulletin.org because it is against their site rules but a simple Google search should give you plenty of sites.
