The emulator does not provide 100% compatibility but plays 'a very large portion of historical Flash animation in the browser, at both a smooth and accurate rate' according to Internet Archive's Jason Scott. The Internet Archive picked Ruffle as the emulator of choice. The archive provides access to Flash content through emulation so that all of the content continues to run on the archive's site even after Flash support ends.Īdobe revealed that users won't be able to play Flash content in 2021 there is an option for Enterprises though.

We reviewed the software of the Flash Games Preservation Project in 2018 already, and the project has grown since then to over 70,000 games and 8,000 animations. No official downloads are available, and we can’t recommend any third-party sources for this.The end of support has consequences, and one of these consequences is that Flash content that is available currently will be ignored once Flash is no longer supported.ĭoes that mean that all the good Flash games, animations and applications are no longer accessible? Not necessarily. From here, download a browser that’s still compatible with Flash 32.0.0.371 (which came out in May 2020) and find a mirror for the same version of Flash. To do this, set up a virtual machine and install the operating system of your choice (Windows is a good choice.). In essence, you’re running an operating system on top of your existing operating system.

Free apps like VirtualBox (and premium ones like VMWare) can create a virtualized environment that poses no immediate threat to your system. If you were to run an older version of Flash that still technically works, you should probably do so in a secure environment like a virtual machine.

In order to use Newgrounds natively, you can either use the Windows-only (and somewhat outdated) Newgrounds Player, or you can download the Ruffle browser extension and try that instead. And, of course, the entire Newgrounds library is still available.
