BEFORE YOU UPGRADE:
You MUST uninstall your mods first! Most mods will not work properly or at all AFTER you upgrade SMF to 2.x. This is because they are not coded to work with SMF 2.x. There are new files, many code changes between files and also database changes. After uninstalling your mods, please make sure that all code has been removed by manually check every file that the mod has altered. If you have SMF Arcade Hacks installed then please uninstall/remove them first BEFORE removing the arcade.
Your mod info should be safe as long as you do not mess with the database. Most mods install their data there.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY UPGRADED:
If you have not uninstalled your mods before upgrading then you will probably have to manually remove them. You can do this by deleting all of the arcade files and uploading new copies of the files that have been modified by the arcade for SMF 1.1.x. This is the easier way but will possibly kill other mods and you will have to reinstall or re-edit them to make them work. Their data should be safe as long as you do not change their database tables.
The slowest and best way is to check every file that the arcade modified and make sure the code has been removed. If you already install the new version over the old, it is best to remove both and start over. Otherwise, you'll most likely have conflicts.
