I was playing Simon, and I got a highscore of 17. When I died, I got htis error, like when I die in all the other Arcade games:

vbProArcade Error: Invalid game name specified (todo: put something pretty here later)

What's wrong???

Yikes! Cool a new game! And I'm in 12th! So no one play it till I can beat obi's ..... I wish.

Lone Wolf 13 Jan 2003, 23:40

I could beat Obi's score, but I want the guy to be able to have a crown for awhile.

I have no problem with this error.

DarkSFK 14 Jan 2003, 00:07

It does this with every game I play..

Thats gotta blow if you beat the top score and that happens.

DarkSFK 14 Jan 2003, 01:07

Yeah.... I got pretty high on pac man earlier, about 70,000, not high score, but pretty damn close, and it wouldn't submit the damn thing!!

what are you using to browse the boards and what version of flash do you have installed?

AtmaWeapon 14 Jan 2003, 04:13

gRRR.... I had a good pac man score and the board did not submit ANY of the scores. 😞

This seems very annoying, Maybe an admin should check it out. *Looks at Shadowblazer*

I got this error:

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.

I know I didn't cheat, I don't know how to cheat and even if I did, I wouldn't do it.

From the sounds of it, the problem is on their end. I'd say there's something goofy with either their version of flash, or their web browser. The webserver's side of the communication is pretty straightforward, so if something odd is happening, it'd be on the client side.

As for Jiggly, I believe this line of text, displayed at the bottom of every game, can shed some light on that particular problem:

Warning: If you reached this page via your browser's "Back" button, you must refresh this
page before playing the game, otherwise your score will result in a security violation.

I got into the habit of using the back button since before the hack was added. I'll be a lot more careful from now on.

It doesn't matter anyway, the score I got was bad.
