We've got all this wonderful talent flying around with Flash integration, unfortunately none of it is compiled.
John and Erwin seem to be approaching some sort of odd tangent with these hacks and I'm curious as to where this is all going.
Do I download John's tetris hack w/scoreboard? Do I download Erwin's "play any flash" hack? I can definitely see the benefits to both/either, however, I would love to see the developers come together on this and attempt to release THE ultimate arcade hack instead of breaking it up amongst the confusion for the members here. 
Just my 2 yen.

They are 2 different hacks. John's hack uses public domain flash games which he modifies to integrate into the vB database. Hence you have a nice leaderboard and top scores are saved into the vB database. But to do that, you need to manually hack the Flash games too, which a lot of Flash games do not allow as they are copyright.
My hack involves no Flash game mods because you are not integrating the games into the vB database - hence you can play any Flash game including ones that are not public domain. They are different hacks, for different purposes. You can use the addons to make an arcade.
