So what is new in onArcade 2.2?

Now you can run truly international arcade without worrying about charsets or character encodings. (I generated the translations on the above image using Google Translate, so some of them might make no sense at all.)

New sessions system recognizes bots, fixes scores problems and performs better.

onArcade has totally new admin panel. New cleaner template and many AJAX features make arcade management much easier. New game pack installer downloads games straight from onArcade server, so no need to download games to your own computer anymore.

Template selector in top left corner is just for demo site, your arcades won't have it (I have not yet managed to finish Blue template, so it is not yet available).

Upgrade from older versions
Please back up your database before you run upgrading script! onArcade 2.2 has many very big changes, so all custom modifications, templates and languages will have to be redone.
