PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

after 64 pages I think its better if this thread is closed and the hack reposted with instructions on how to get new games, how to install games and bug fixes and what the writer knows about known bugs, no one is going to know if bugs have been posted in a 64 page thread

What a load of crud that comment is!

This is a hack for an arcade, not a how-to or where-to get games from and nor should it be. Do some research yourself and have a read cause it's not hard!

As for the bugs you mention many of them are related to other installed hacks which any coder can't know about when releasing his/her hack until after it's released and then support is offered and in this case I think you find if you did read all of the pages, which aren't that many, then you'll see most of the problems have been sorted out by the coder and his support crew.

Don't be lazy!

[lsgworldl]

O and if its so easy to find new games how come ppl cant, and if its so easy why cant there be a link to them in this ++++ing thread

Well, it's not really an error, it's a matter of laziness really.
But the "install all games" button in the games list doesn't work for me:

/public_html/arcade/tar/arcade/tar is write-protected. Please change CHMOD to 0777 via FTP.

Now, I don't have a folder called /arcade/tar/arcade/tar, I do however have a /arcade/tar/ which I've already set to 0777.

Is there something wrong in the script, in my settings or should I just stop being lazy and keep installing one game at a time?

That's usually due to a corrupt tar file. If you look down your list of tar files to be installed you will see that they will have the button 'uninstall' up to a point where it changes to 'install'. Use the delete option for that first game as that is your corrupt one, then hit the install all button again and it will continue mass instalation of your games from where it left off.

Yes it is easy sorry but if you aren't prepared to search, read and search some more, why should it be handed to you on a platter?

Plus it's not the coder's responsibility to be worry about where to get games when he/she has enough on their plate with the product/plugin to worry about.

I also don't see why you are having the need to be swearing, but each to their own..

Just with that peterska2 - is there any way of knowing why the file is corrupt and any way of fixing it at all please, as I have a few that are also the same?

Thank you.

You seriously need to either chill out or leave this site and never return.

An attitude like yours soon turns EVERYBODY against you, and you will see no help whatsoever.

reporting your bugs tends to help, along with details of any other mods you may have installed.

There is no need to use that type of language. In fact you will probably find that it turns peoples helpy mode off when they see it.

As a suggestion, I recommend clicking this link or this link to help you find some games.
