I'm just posting what I wrote in a different thread, since it's a litte incongruous with the other thread title, and some people might find it useful. If you use phpBB on your Dolphin site, this is a way to add games to your site. The phpBB mod records users scores, which is a lot better, and more fun for your users than those do-nothing mods on expertzzz.
There is an arcade mod for phpBB (3.0.3 or higher). You can download it here: http://www.jeffrusso.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1328 Demo: http://www.jeffrusso.net/forum/arcade.php
I haven't tried it, since I don't use phpBB, but it would be a good solution for anyone that wants to add games to their Dolphin site. All you would need to do would be to integrate phpBB into Dolphin, then install the arcade mod to phpBB

I've looked at the arcade mods on expertzz.com, and I cant' imagine why anyone would want to pay for them. I might be wrong, but I didn't see a single game mod on expertzzz that includes a score keeping system for the games. All the mods are just a way to contain the game flash files.... completely useless mods in my opinion. If you are going to have games on your Dolphin site, at least give users the fun of seeing their scores posted, so they can compete with other members.

The arcade mod for phpBB, uses games that have been modified for use with the arcade so that scores are recorded. There are thousands of games that are compatible with this mod and can be downloaded free, from sites such as http://www.ibpdownloads.com/ or http://invisionarcade.com/ (I assume these will be compatible.) There's also some game download sites listed in a thread here: http://www.jeffrusso.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1960

The arcade mod for phpBB doesn't have all the features that the arcade mods for IPB and vBulletin have, but it's a lot better than anything you'll find on expertzzz. Besides that, it's free, and it's well supported. Another thing that I feel is useless are those game packs that include many hundreds of games. I'd stay away from those, because they include a lot of games that only 6 year old children would want to play. I found that it's a lot better to hand pick the best games and just add them to your site slowly.... it gives something regular game players to look forward to.

I know there's a Dolphin/phpBB integration available, but I don't know if it supports phpBB 3.0.3
