Added new hook "arcade_main_category_listing" that is executed immediately before the list of games for the selected category on the main page is displayed.
While this is a much welcome change, how does one go about actually setting the change?
Also discovered another "issue". Upgrade went fine, but the images aren't showing in the Champion Column.

{hehehe} Whoops, knew I forgot to post something last night. I already wrote a little plugin for you guys wanting have a different default category (the explicit reason why I added that hook where I did) and will post it later tonight when I'm back home. The next code for the next major version of v3A is already being worked on and, in that version, Brian/Tigga is adding an option in the ACP to set the default category so the plugin method will only be needed with 1.0.9 for the time being.

Can ya' let me know the link to your v3A installation so I can take a look? (And you already checked the zip file to make sure the images aren't there and just need to be updated? )
I'll create a test account and PM you the details once created.
The Champions column isn't calling a file name. It just shows the path to the images directory on the server.
Bug confirmed. In ACP => v3 Arcade => Settings => Enable Arcade Awards, if that is set to "Disable Awards" then it'll result in the problem you're seeing. I'll work on it tonight.
For those looking for a way of changing the default category from "Random" to "All" (or something else), here's a copy of a plugin released at v3Arcade.

This is intended only for version 1.0.9 since the next version of the Arcade will have an option in the ACP to specify the default category.
Right now the plugin will use the "All" category as the default. Change the "-1" value in the "v3 Arcade - Specify A Default Category" plugin if you want to use a different default category.

Thanks...that is something that has been needed for so long....
I ended up hard coding the correct categoryid into all my arcade URLS, I can finally get rid of that now...
So i what change my ibproarcade on v3arcade...
And so - is it possible to convert games installed on ibproarcade and users scores to this system ? How?
And one question yet... There are problems with challenges - I allow challenge for new installed games, but i don't see them listed in the drop down for avaliable games for challenge
