After I upload the games and then go into the game lists, some of the games have this symbol.

What does this mean?

Those games are "secured" (called "v32/v33 games") and encrypt their scores to avoid cheating.
If you do a mouseover on the icon in the gamelist, you'll see

Ah, I knew you were gonna say that so I checked it before I posted my question and no, it doesn't.

So is there any way to change that or do I just delete the games?

...offering games to people then encrypting them so you can't save the scores...what's the point of that??

no, those games are secure, means their score-transmission from the game to the arcade-script is encrypted.

The point is that results are transferred via HTTP just as normal text/parameters, so some cheaters used this to adapt their scores and sent faked (better) results to the arcade-script to get highscores, win tournaments ect.

This is now impossible as the games encrypt the scores mathematically, transfer them and the arcade-script decrypts it and can verify if the result is valid or not.


So the player himself won't notice any difference, but the forum's administrator can be sure that results in those games are really played and not injected by any user

I also don't understand what should be pointless regarding to this.

I don't want to tell the public how to cheat in detail (with unsecured games), so the description above should be enough.

They record scores & work if you've installed them right and you have the latest version.

1) Do you have 2.6.2+ ?
2) Have you put the gamedata folder in right place? Sometimes when you install tar/zip games from ACP it actually places the gamedata folder to wrong place (arcade/tar/gamedata), even though they should be placed to arcade/gamedata
