For additional information just check out the attached Screenshots




ibProArcade is compatible to ibProArcade-Games (*wow* surprise!), v3arcade-Games and PNflashgames (www.pnflashgames.com, use POSTNUKE format).
PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !


Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates












If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:
  • For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
  • For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
  • For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):
---MAD---, Acers, Aftermath, beacher, dede1, E=mc˛, Esposito, Feckie (Roger), Gemma, ggiersdorf, GrendelKhan{TSU, Huijting, jbd, JTyson, kall, kylek, MasterMaik, matrix, media4you, micheal332001, MissKalunji, MrLister, nitro, nullified, Okie, Paul_Hollibone, Scotty2k, Ski-Whiz, slank, Smoker, Synper, soniceffect, Sooner95, tcs, Tekram, Willy, Wordplay and everybody else I forgot to mention here

I hope I can reinstall it in the near future, but not for now

Good luck tho.
oh no? I got several database errors and they were all related to the arcade... the one I posted was just one of many.

AND... since I uninstalled it, there's been no more errors and I've not been down once. It was the arcade in one way or another

Thanks again for this Mr. Zeropage, it really is one of my favorite mods, been using this arcade system since it was a beta for IPB 1.3, and to be able to use it again with VBulletin has been awesome.

Question: Are there any plans to integrate the arcade with any of these "shop" and "cash" mods that are popping up everywhere?

Where's the mySQL error code? How many users do you normally get hitting your site/arcade? I had a zerg rush of users once in my arcade of close to 75 users, and it never had any database problems. Who's doing your database hosting? It's possible that the mySQL server can't handle large amounts of traffic. It's one of the many reasons no large companies use mySQL for their database solution.

Can you please give a good webhosting website who can handle heavy traffic and is superior in SQL database implementation.

NO larger companies use MySQL for their database solution? I'm not sure where you get your information, but nearly every single large host that I know of uses mySQL.

I don't have a large site, and there were only 3 people in the arcade when the database went down.

Anyway, the situation has been corrected and I may try this arcade again.

Not going to get into a database war here, I just know there's a reason why so many large companies choose Oracle or other commercial offerings over mySQL. If your hosting offered mySQL or Oracle, which would you take?

Anyways, good to see you got your problem solved. What was the issue?

LOL... there is no database war. I have no idea what Oracle is, as every single host I've checked into offers mySQL, so I wouldn't know anything about Oracle.

Actually my problem isn't solved.... I just tried to install this arcade again and my site crashed again. SO this is out for me.

Yeah, it's not a bad idea for hosting companies to offer mySQL to their customers. It's free and works for most of their customer's applications. Hell, I use it on my site for that very reason. I'd only go to a commercial solution if the traffic on my site got to the point where mySQL can't handle it anymore. Not that it would ever happen, but if it does, there's that option.

Can you post the full error message so we can help troubleshoot? I'm not sure what's going on, it might be a simple setup issue.

How big of a site are you looking at? How much traffic?
