Hello all,

The Arcade has now been upgraded from 2.5.6 to 2.5.7. There is a possiblity some scores and games may be lost or broken. Please bear with us for the moment as we test the games. If you find any problems, please report it to an administrator (ie, me!)

This new version, just released today will allow for even more functionality, better tournaments, and allow even newer games to work with the arcade! The following are the improvements!
