How to manually install games?

If a game refuses to install from the .zip or .tar how can you manually install it?

I'm not sure where to put the files, thanks!

Extract the tar or zip game file, there are 4 files : swf, php and 2 gif files (for v2.0 game)

Firstly upload the game swf file to arcade folder.
Second upload the 2 image gif files to arcade/images
Thirdly, open the php file, you can see something like this:

<?php
$config = array(
gname => 'amgdriftGC',
gtitle => 'AMG Drift Competition',
bgcolor => '000000',
gwidth => '806',
gheight => '490',
active => '1',
gcat => '1',
//optional leave blank if not using
gwords => 'Take a spin on a closed winter course and learn how to drift',
object => 'score points by drifting',
gkeys => 'see in game.',

);?>

Go to ACP in the Arcade panel, click the Add game option. See the picture below:



Enter the data appropreately in each field, when finished save it, thats all.



Hope this help.

if you have the original zip-file (including the .php file) upload the zip-archive to /arcade/zip/ and enter AdminCP -> Arcade -> Add Game and check the ZIP-game-installer-section
