Concerning other flash components 1 Year, 8 Months ago Karma: 3  
PU arcade with 6 games was the first flash games component I ever used back in the day. You have done a fabulous job with the new versions. However in the mean time I started using a different flash game component. It has CB integration some specially designed modules including one that has a log out timer and auto score deletion to improve competition. Needless to say it would be painful to change at this point. However the support is not so good and no one is working on V3 integration. Would you mind sharing where you got the code for that?

I think it will be worth the trouble to change, and PUArcade is a better long term solution. Here is why:
1. I offer the best support of any Arcade component. Ask around, look in the forums. I answer every question, I go out of my way to help everyone. This is a real community driven product, and it shows.
2. My component is free and open source. Always has been, always will be.
3. When people request new features, I add them! Really! Look through the feature requests forums. You'll find many marked "Done". Why don't I have "Auto score deletion"? Well, nobody has asked for it.
4. PUArcade is the most actively developed Arcade component available. Since January, we've released several versions, and each version has added MAJOR features. The component is getting better every month, and will continue to do so.
5. We have some CB integration already, via CB plugins. I have code to integrate CB, various comment systems, shoutboxes, forums, and more. I just haven't included it in the core product because I don't know if I want that to be a part of my component. I'm happy to share this code with anyone who wants to add integration themselves though.
6. PUArcade already supports V3Arcade, PNFlashgames, PHPBB-Arcade and IBProArcade. That support is only going to get better.
7. VERY soon, there will be an automated way to migrate games and scores from other popular arcade components.
8. My code isn't encrypted. Want to change the look of the arcade? Go ahead! I'll even tell you specifically where the presentation related code is!
9. My component doesn't "phone home" or anything like that to validate licensing or some such nonsense. Also, no banners or annoying advertising. There is a small footer, which you can, of course, remove!

I don't think I took the V3 code from anywhere in particular. I decompiled a couple V3 games to see how they sent their scores. Then, I coded my Arcade to accept them. If you want to use my V3 code, you are free to do so, under the terms of the GPL. V3 support is very simple to add compared to PNFlashGames or IBProArcade.

Good Luck!

Alright, Alright, you have convinced me. The truth is the other component I have used just isn't being improved. The backend for your component is sooo much better. I tested PU Arcade. and there is a small conflict with my D4J trans menu module. I'll test some more and get back on the particulars. When the automated migration becomes available I will switch over completely. Right now I am using the Joomla Flash Games component.

Is it possible to integrate joomlaboard in PU arcade? For example, For each game, there is a topic created and a link that refers to the topic in the arcade.
Or even Joomla comment because I have the two components and the only thing that miss is the commentary for the games

There is a hack posted on the forums for comment integration. Search the forums for the thread. Looked to be a pretty easy hack.

I would say that at this point, the #1 thing that people are asking for is integration. Expect that the release after this current one will have some integration configurations available.
