I can use it for the most part connecting and all but I cant seem to make it so when you connect to a certain port it opens the game.If this topic has been addressed point me to a link or something, I've read the help it comes with and still cant get it to work.

First of all, if you are running this in windows, you need the latest beta version of the software. It doesn't work in the last public release (306).
Here's how it should work:
The host server runs a some fixed port (say 1026). Everything else runs on a dynamic port.
Games are identified by the path in which they are installed. For example, if a host account is created for somebody with a byond key of 'Ernie', and he installs the file byond/MyGame/MyGame.dmb on his site, then people can connect to it by using any of the following addresses:
byond://histip:1026/Ernie/MyGame/MyGame.dmb
byond://hostip:1026/Ernie/MyGame/MyGame
byond://hostip:1026/Ernie/MyGame
Of course, by registering an entry in BYOND Hub, you can make the host accessible using a hub address such as byond://YourKey.Host. And, Ernie could register a byond hub entry with a login URL from the above list so that players could connect by simply doing byond://Ernie.MyGame.
Let me know if you still have trouble.
