  • ruffle

    A Flash Player emulator written in Rust

  • BrowserBox

    🌀 Browse the web from a browser you run on a server, rather than on your local device. Lightweight virtual browser. For security, privacy and more! By https://github.com/dosyago

    • I'm working on bringing Flash to iOS via browser proxy^0. Basically, what we do is run the browser on the server and stream the viewport to your regular browser. Then we use Ruffle injected into the page. Basically it's a "monkey patch" to give you extensions-like capabilities but on mobile devices!

  • openfl

    The Open Flash Library for creative expression on the web, desktop, mobile and consoles.

    • https://www.openfl.org/

    Which is not an emulator, but more of a spiritual successor, following the same API, and with tools to convert Actionscript projects

  • avmplus

    Discontinued Source code for the Actionscript virtual machine

    • They have outsourced a large chunk of it[1], although you could argue not enough of it.

  • webvm

    Virtual Machine for the Web

    • Developer here. CheerpX for Flash runs the Pepper API version of Flash, and you're correct about the license. However, we don't do full Linux emulation just to run Flash - we emulate PPAPI and run the Flash player in an x86 JIT (CheerpX).

    Yuri talks about CXFF's architecture here:

    ...but if you wanted full Linux system emulation, we got it! https://webvm.io
