neopets-flash-fix-windows-10 VS ruffle

https://github.com/themrrobert/neopets-flash-fix-windows-10 It’s better to use palemoon+fiddler with this fix. I played about 250 games (sending scores). Anyway, before you press Send, refresh another neopets tab.

It’s possible to play almost all games. I don’t recommend Ruffle because most of the games don’t work and have a lot of problems submitting scores. Try this fix https://github.com/themrrobert/neopets-flash-fix-windows-10

I used palemoon with this fix https://github.com/themrrobert/neopets-flash-fix-windows-10 and played 250 games without any problem

Option 2: follow the instructions here: https://github.com/themrrobert/neopets-flash-fix-windows-10 It involves downloading a very old browser and doing some suss security things. Read the instructions very very very carefully.

I'm using Pale Moon and a bunch of stuff to get it to work! The guide and installs (for Windows 10 at least) is here https://github.com/themrrobert/neopets-flash-fix-windows-10

The memories…

I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever?

It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work flawlessly.

shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated.

sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/

Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-...

Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/

Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript

I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine.

But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019.

Out of curiosity a couple months ago I wondered if I could play my old Proximity flash game on Newgrounds from the browser within the Quest 3 VR headset, and it worked great!

That led me to do a little searching, and I discovered that originally the game didn't work in Ruffle, as I apparently did something with the play game button that wasn't normal. But someone put a fix in it back in 2020[1] in order to get my game working again. That was pretty neat. Felt kind of nice that people still cared enough about my old game to make sure it still works in an emulator.

Still working on a more in-depth sequel (using Monogame), and I'm way overdue to make a new web version of the original. Might knock that out once I get closer to getting the sequel out there.

i believe it's using Ruffle[0] and that's already happened[1]
