So im still trying to justify a linux machine. Havent the time to fiddle much. Whilst sifting an old hard drive I uncovered, there within lied a bunch of old .swf games and animation files. Casually glancing at what would be safe to run them, I found Ruffle. Testing for 10 minutes proved annoying at best as nothing worked at all.

I tested everything in the nightly release area in the link. Couldnt get anything to work, except force loading the .xpi into a nightly of Firefox. Got the settings for it working......and nothing. With .swf files not being recognized at all. Tried "Opening with....Firefox". Oddly enough, all it would do is stupidly ask me if I wanted to save the file.....that I already had and am trying to run....

Drag and drop has the same silly result. For whatever reason, the darn thing would not recognize anything.

lm posting this on gog, because im curious if anyone uses it for games and other media. But curious if anyone uses Ruffle?

Have you heard about flashpoint? https://flashpointarchive.org

Just read about it. Only offline option for a player, was Ruffle. lol
Im not really keen on the stuff they have. Mostly a player.

But thanks man for the heads up :)

No, you don’t. You are only looking at a new excuse to rant against Linux.

Says the troll....
