OK First off i would like to thank JCink for making this awesome arcade system but I have fixed it just follow the steps:

Code Name: Quick Arcade v1.0
Description: An Arcade for your Forumer board that can be played on your website, and is equipped with highscores for some games!
Preview of it in Use:http://quickarcade.4.forumer.com/index.php?act=SR&f=2
Where it goes: In rules text...see install instructions.
Copyright: Jcink 2004

The Quick Arcade V1.0 Guide

Quick Arcade Installation should be fast, quick, and easy hence the name.
Quick Arcade is made to be fast; there aren't many codes to mess around
with in this one.

It supports many browsers, new and old, including netscape, Internet explorer, and mozilla.

The Quick Arcade Game adder is simple, and easy to fill out.

Quick Arcade is equipped with...HIGHSCORES! YES! A highscore system for

Asteroids
Pacman
Snake
Invaders
Tetris
and Double Snake!

are in place! Theres no way for you to have your own highscore system on these games, for now these scores will be global. Your arcade will also have:

Simon
Tic Tac Toe
and Donkey Kong

However, they do not have scores...yet.

Lastly, this arcade will blend with your skin. It will instantly take your CSS and the looks of your forum will be put right in automatically.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Installing The Arcade. 8 Steps

Step 1: Create a new catagory. Name it anything you want.

Step 2: Make a new forum within that catagorey. Call it "The Arcade".

Step 3: Make another forum within that catagory. Call the "Game Adder"

Step 4: In the admin cp go to Forum Control -> and then look for "Manage Forums" from that menu. Click it.

Step 5: Find the two forums you added on that page. Now, on the left of them should be these:
http://69.93.183.37/html/sys-img/acp_rules.gif http://69.93.183.37/html/sys-img/acp_resync.gif
Press the "!" mark one on the forum that you called "The Arcade".

Step 6: Set the display method to "Show link only".

Step 7: In Rules Title put "The Arcade".

Step 8: Now Paste this code into the white box where you can write on that page:

Code:
<center>
<table width='78%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='4'>
<tr><td class='row2' width='100%' >
<div class="tableborder" style="padding: 0px;">
 <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
   <tr>
     <td class="row2" style="padding: 8px 8px 8px; width: 100%">
          

<legend>
<div class="tableborder" style="padding: 0px;">
 <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

     <td class="row2" style="padding: 8px 8px 8px; width: 100%">

Now stay on that screen and paste this right underneath all the stuff you just copied and pasted:

Step 9: Right here:http://quickarcade.4.forumer.com/ind...type=post&id=3
Please do not forget this one or your games will not load!

Copy everything in the text box, and paste it.

NOTE: This code was not made by me, I found it on a free scripts site. But it is needed to power the arcade.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing The Game Adder
Its time to add the "Game adder". Do just as you did above in in step 4, but this time, instead of choosing the forum "The Arcade" click the "!" on the forum "Game adder".

Step 1: Set the display method to "Show Link Only"
Step 2: Make rules title "Game adder"
Step 3: Paste this code in the big white box rules text:
Code:
<center><iframe height=400 width=600 src=http://jcink.vzz.net/h/></iframe></center>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding the Arcade to the Navigation Links

Step 1: click the forum called "The Arcade".
Step 2: Click the link in that forum that says "The Arcade". Grab the link and paste it in here:
Code:
<script>
/*
Adding NaviBar Links
By Webworldx
*/
var aLink=new Array()
aLink[0]='<img src="http://69.93.183.37/815/88/upload/p497627.gif" border="0" alt="" width="14" height="16" /><a href="The_Link_That_You_Grabbed_Goes_Here">Arcade</a>'

var uCell = document.getElementsByTagName('TD')
for (i=0;i<uCell.length;i++){
if (uCell[i].align=="right" && uCell[i].innerHTML.match("act=calendar") && uCell[i].innerHTML.match("act=Help")){
var addLink=""
for (j=0;j<aLink.length;j++){
addLink+=aLink[j]+"  "
}

uCell[i].innerHTML=addLink+uCell[i].innerHTML
}}
</script>
Step 3: Take the above code and paste it into your Board Wrappers, in the footer.

And thats it! Lastly, you may want to hide that catagory you created now by pressing Manage forums - > and the word "edit" in the catagory you made., and only open it up when you want to add a game. Choose from that menu "Hidden".

You're done! Thanks for installing Quick Arcade!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add additional games

Step 1: Go into the forum called game adder and the click the link in that forum.

Step 2: Now theres a whole bunch of boxes to fill out.

These are ALL varibles which need to be filled in. When you fill it all out, it will give you a code.

Step 3: Press "Get code" after you are done filling in the blank spaces, it will hand you a code to paste into your arcade.

Step 4: Go back to the screen where you pasted the main arcade source code. Scroll all the way down.

Step 5: Look for where it says

<!---- End Game Code For TicTacToe ---->

Then add the code that game adder generated right below that

Thats the end. If you have any questions, are completely confused whatsoever, you can post right here, and I'll try to help you.

YEah it might work if you just replace the window open part of each game with this code:

Code:
<INPUT type="button" value="Play Game" onClick="window.open('http://www.miniclip.com/gamefiles0304/bushshootout_game.swf','Bush Shootout','width=500,height=500')">

Hmm... didn't change anything when I put it in for the bush game.

Wouldn't you need something like:
Code:
<u><i>Play Game</i></u>

12369874 , you need to take this down. I have already gotten complaints on how it doesn't work and people are having trouble in the official topic. I can't help them because my codes don't work with this, and the game adder will not work either.

You are more than welcome to try to recompile and make your own. I did nothing more than compile others games, add the scoring system, and put them into mine. Good luck but please take it down.
