Is ti possible to install latest version to 1.1.9?

you can install the latest of the 2.0.x series to 1.1.9
the 2.5 betas are only for smf 2.x

2.0.18 is now available for 1.1.9. No need for emulate version anymore.

Hi, I have a very old version of SMF Arcade installed and want to update.
Version 2.0.9
SMF 1.1.9

There is no uninstall available for that old version and I don't have the [ Apply Mod ] option for the new version which I've uploaded 2.0.18  so I assume I need to do a manual uninstall first!?
I'm also not running the default theme!

Didn't find anything on a search in this topic on that so a push in the right direction would help?
Thanx

Hello fellow jeza

What about smf 2.0rc1-1? I'm getting the same errors when I try and install:
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

The easiest way would be to uninstall the 1.1.9 update. The 2.0.17 uninstall should re-appear then.
Uninstall it, re-install the 1.1.9 update then install the 2.0.18.

Use the version emulate.

Click "Advanced" right below the Browse Packages page.

Ok, just tried that and still get the same error!? And also since a pressed emulate another one of my mods I have installed (Recent Topics) doesn't have an uninstall link. But it is still installed!?

This action did not function for me. It actually acted as if it did nothing. Here is what I see:
4.     SMF Arcade      2.0.18      [ List Files ]  [ Delete ] (NOTE the lack of Uninstall?)

I also tried deleting 2.0.18 and downloading/installing the beta one.
4.     SMF Arcade      2.5 Beta 5      [ List Files ]  [ Delete ] Same results .. no uninstall provided

2.0.18 is now available for 1.1.9. No need for emulate version anymore.

It still does not function on either the 2.0.18 or the beta (I am using 2.0RC-1 version of SMF).  See below:
Install Actions
Installations actions for "SMF Arcade":
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.


EDITED - PROBLEM RESOLVED...
Surprisingly enough, I found my own fix through "hacking" the modification, thanks to another poster. It would appear as though your line <install="2.0 R-1"> inside of the programs-info.xml file is preventing a successful install for folks like me who are running 2.0 RC-1 and installing the BETA version for the first time ever. I've never even run any SMF version prior to 2.0 RC-1. So after I altered that line, I got a successful installation. I thought I'd pass this information along. Here's the post that helped me, so that I give proper credit to the kind person:

well maybe this could help ...when you download any MOD which is not compatible with your version. do one thing download the package and extract the file named package-info.xml...then between the code find line something like this <install for="1.1.6-1.99.99"> and <uninstall for="1.1.6-1.99.99"> .... change it to <install> and <uninstall>. hope this hack will work for you as i use this before on many mods but don't continue if you got any Test Fail...good luck

Hi Guys.
I have a problem with smf arcade. Im running smf 2rc 1-1 and have several themes installed, The problem is i use the smf default theme for my forum and smf arcade has issues with this theme. When you go to play a game it states that i need to  install javascript. The smf arcade works fine on every other theme i have installed.

Any ideas?

different games use different scoring systems for instance the variable that sends the score from the game to the website could be called score, highscore, hscore, money, gold etc. also different games send the score to different places, for instance index.php, newscore.php or they may send the score to a relative path or even to an external url.

The games also have different methods of identifying themselves to the website, they might have a name or a number, the score submission might be encrypted. All this depends on what the game author intended there game to be used for.

SMF Arcade supports some of the most common scoring systems.

To know if your game works with the arcade you need to know which scoring system your version of the game uses (some games have been released with several different versions for different scoring systems) and check that against the list of scoring systems the arcade supports. There is more info on this in the stickies on the Games Board at smfarcade.info

Hello,
I got forum version:1.1.9
Arcade version:2.0.18

Me and my members can't submit the highscore at ANY game.
We click on submit and nothing happens.

Any ideas what can be wrong?
