Migrate from the original MyTCG

While MyTCG-f3 has almost the exact same features as the original MyTCG, the code base is completely different, and as such it should be considered an entirely separate script. For this reason, you should think of this as more of a "conversion" or "migration" than an "upgrade".

MyTCG-f3 can easily be dropped in place of the original if little to no changes have been made to the original code base and/or database schema. More specifically - as long as you haven't removed or changed any fields or tables in the database, you can just upload the MyTCG-f3 files to your website, and add your old MyTCG database credentials to the config.ini file.

Custom code/mods created for the original MyTCG most likely will not work in MyTCG-f3. Feel free to post on the Support Forums for help with migrating specific mods or scripts.

Update your Games!

An area of particular concern are your games. Because the games management feature was so drastically overhauled, you will need to re-configure your games after the migration. Just navigate to the "Games" section of the admin control panel, and edit the settings for each game in your list to ensure it's set up correctly. You'll want to update the "name" and "alias" fields in particular, as these fields tend to get flip-flopped during migration.
