Ruffle is a software still under development, you may experience some compatibility issues, some Flash may not run, but most of them can run smoothly. Please try Ruffle and consider support Ruffle project! here's the home page of Ruffle project: https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle

Solution: HFlashPlayer

Pros: one click run. high compatibility.

Cons: only for windows. needs to install additional software.

HFlashPlayer is a portable assistance program we designed for windows. It uses a custom url to communicate with browsers, then controls the official flash player to handle swf files on our site. HFlashPlayer has the same compatibility level with the official flash player, and very easy to use also, just one click to play.

To use HFlashPlayer, you need to download it from [github] or [here] , extract it to any place you want, then run the HFlashPlayer.exe one time. When you run it, the windows user control will prompt, please click yes, because we need to register a custom url scheme. Thats all you need to do. When you click the "CLICK TO PLAY" button on a game page, the browser will ask you would you like to run it with HFlashPlayer? click yes and remember my choice, FlashPlayer will automatically launch and load contents.

HFlashPlayer required .net framework 4.0 to run, if you are not on windows 10 you need to download and install it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/Download/confirmation.aspx?id=17718. To uninstall HFlashPlayer, you can run "unregister.reg" to remove the custom url scheme, then remove all files as you want.

If your HFlashPlayer not working by some reason, please check this issue self check list: When you click a "CLICK TO PLAY" or "HFlashPlayer" button: Q1. nothing happened. A11. your HFlashPlayer was not registered correctly. please run HFlashPlayer.exe to register. Q111. nothing happens when I run HFlashPlayer.exe A111. you need .net framework 4.0 to run this program. A12. your web browser or antivirus blocked the request, check your browser's application setting or try in another web browser. Q2. a blank window and it's keeps blank forever. A21. click file menu, you will see a url on position 1, carefully type and open it in your web browser to test the file is reachable. Q211. I saw a browser check or a captcha, or I saw the check a while ago. A211: your network was marked as unsafe by the firewall, you can try other solution, or use a proxy/VPN. Q212. I can download the file but I'm using a proxy. A212: you need to proxy the flashplayer.exe also.

Solution: Download

Pros: high compatibility.

Cons: can not run on mobile.

The swf file still can runs on your windows PC, linux, or Macintosh. To download, you can simply click the download button under the game area. Some games were designed to play online, and there is no simple way to run them offline, so we can not provide downloads for those games.
After the download, you need an offline player to run the swf files.
you can download the standalone flash player here: flashplayer29_0r0_171_win_sa.exe. after you downloaded the player, you can simply drag the swf file on to it to run. If you are not on windows PC, you need to download the your OS version of offline player, you can google it or find it in the alternate archive on the blow. And if the downloaded file is a zip file, you need to extrace all files to make sure the flash can runs properly.

Solution: Browsers that still support Flash

Pros: best compatibility.

Cons: hard to setup, not for mobile.

There are still various browsers that support Flash today. However, most of them are outdated, and there are many issues with plugin and browser setup. We do not recommend this solution, even for experienced users.

Here are some hint for user who want to try this solution:

- DO NOT use this setup as your main browser, setting up inside a virtual machine is recommend.

- Browsers that released before 2020, and with a old or modified version of Flash pluing, can still run flash content today. Beware of forced automatic update.

- The last version of offical flash plugin has many traps, not recommend to try. older version or 3rd-party edited verion is recommend.

We got report that Puffin Browser on mobile still working with Flash on 2024. (may not free)
