Go to arcade Admin --> Arcade settings and enable arcade

[Mobilemick]

When i do goto admin panel , and try to install game i get :-

2: arcadeadmin_games(./getid3/getid3.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
File: /home/mick/domains/mobilemick.com/public_html/smf2/Sources/Arcade.php

Seems someone forgot several $boarddir in the files arcade2.xml and arcade.xml
e.g. <file name="index.php"> should be <file name="$boarddir/index.php">

Line: 320

More Problems...  If i edit display.template.php (as per instructions in ReadMe) i get this error when clicking on Games tab.  also when i click on a subject in forum, i get a template error, if i restore backup of display.template.php all me links work again, but error message still there. 

Thanks

To install the games you have to put them in the games folder in your ftp and install them thru your admin panel on your site.Also you have to set your permissions for each member group in order for them to view the arcade.The games can be D/L from the smfgames.com site.

mobilemick.com/public_html/smf2/Games ..   think i had to create Games Folder.

is this the right place

why does the error message say
mobilemick.com/public_html/smf2/Sources/Arcade.php

?

Thanks

Sorry for the late response,I've been busy.I think the problem is you need to have a italian langauge file to make it work.I tried to change it so I can view the site in english but I can't.i know someone on the arcade support site is working on doing a translation for italian lang.php for the arcade.Hopefully soon so we can get it working.Hang in there we'll get it working.

ooooo scary.  I got most of this to work.  Looking back it really wasn't too hard to do.  Now I need some games a little bit better than pong, donkey kong and jewels.

Good job guys.  Any links to some games would be appreciated too!

yes please, dummy here   i'd greatly appreciate that

i'm running 1.0.5, been searching for smf arcade 1.1 with no luck...could i please have it? thank you!

Ok I just wanted to let everyone know that I have gotten the arcade installed. I renamed the table "smf_games_caterogy" to "smf_games_category" that took care of the problem I was having with the error message telling me that "smf_games_category doesn`t exist" I was also getting an error in package manager about if failing to execute a modification in display.template.php I think it was. I gnored that warning when installing. It seems to be working now, just going to try installing some games. Hope this helped someone.

definitely lost....someone please help me? how do i rename a table?

Their maybe a simpler way but head into MySQL and find the games table.  Probably called whatever your board name is, i.e. boardname_games_catagory.  But it will be misspelled catergory or whatever it was.

Click the button on that line called "Structure".

Then on top, click the "operations" link.

Find the label named Rename table to:

and enter the name you need.  Then click GO.

It's what worked in my case.
