    I have a problem. I am using my WP arcade plugin to import games to my site and I want to make my site mobile...

    Let me explain: I created a subdomain just for the mobile version of my site, but I can not seem to find a theme for a mobile site that will show flash games and what not...So I have come to the conclusion that I need a theme like this: http://www.newagearcade.com/ made mobile....I suppose I can pay if I have to but I was hoping to find something very cheap if not less.

    P.S.- It would also be awesome if it had a cool place for me to add Admob ads and whatnot.

    You will probably not be able to covert it into a mobile site on the cheap. You need to spend some money. The theme has nothing to do with showing flash games, it's the mobile browsers that determine that.
    You can use Wordpress Mobile Pack to make your normal content compatible
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/
    But as far as making your games compatible, you need to get that information from the source, where the games are coming from, or study the platforms and see what is required to play flash games.

    Every mobile platform,and every device does not play flash equally.

    ty for your response, I actually only need a wp thing that will still keep flash content on the page if their is any. I already have some games made for mobile phones and From Froyo on Android phones are fully capable of playing flash.

    Also in the end i suppose I want it to look something like this: http://m.kongregate.com/

    I don't understand what theme has to do with the content. How does the theme effect whether or not you can add flash content?

    Not the theme directly per say just some wp plugins such as WPtouch strip away flash content to try to make it more mobile friendly. what I need is a plugin or theme that would make it semi mobile friendly without stripping away the flash content...and a place for me to add Admob ads if possible

    I still say that at this point, flash on the web and flash on mobile devices are not always compatible and you need to design specifically for smaller mobile devices, especially when dealing with flash games.

    I don't think it's the plug in, it's the mobile platform.
    I can see and use every site on my netbook, iPod, an iPad just like on my computer, but I can't on one of my mobile phones...so it's not the website..it's the mobile platform and the device.

    I think your problem lies more with creating flash games that are compatible, than it is with any Wordpres plug ins.

    Yea, but thats kind of what I am saying the game on http://m.newagearcade.com/ is compatable for android phones...

    Ok, I should explain better. See iphones cant play flash games under "normal circumstances, but see I have an Android phone and it has Flash 10.1. ever since Android 2.2 came out...

    So I guess wwhat im saying is I want my site to target mainly android phones.
