FlashBrowser for running flash games
https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrowser
Web site has a big list of flash game gallery sites, you can use in this browser to play the games.

Here is the Linux version of FlashBrowser
https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrow ... /tag/v0.01

I got it running in Bookworm Pup64 10.0.2

Download the https://github.com/radubirsan/FlashBrow ... ux-x64.zip

UN-compress it into a folder that contains all the files.

You can place this folder in /opt directory in the working file system.

There are two exec files that need to be given exec permission.
chrome-sandbox
FlashBrowser

With Rox file manager showing the contents of the UN-compressed folder.
Right click on each one of these files and select properties.
There you can select exec permissions
Select refresh so change is made.

Here is a script file I made that will launch FlashBrowser
Place it in the folder with the rest of the files.
Left click on it to run FlashBrowser.

It will download with no execute permission. so need to give it exec permission also.

This file can also be dropped on the desktop to run the browser from there. ( works only if you placed the FlashBrowser folder(directory) in /opt)

To use this browser.

when you run this browser it only opens a url input slot.

You place one of the game gallery url addresses in this slot and click OK.

Note:
copy and paste into the input slot works.
After doing a copy. To paste, click the middle mouse button with the mouse cursor over the slot.

The browser opens to the game gallery web site and you use selections on the web site to select and run the games.

the browser is very basic and is basically just a display of the game gallery web sites.

@bigpup I also am able to start and run FlashBrowser in F96-CE_4

Played a few moments of several games on some of the sites that had links listed and it seems to work well! Ran each game smoothly.

This is not to bad a browser to just run flash games.

It does exactly what it is suppose to do.

I do wish it would let you copy and past the URL address into the input slot.

Manually typing it in in so old school MAC OS like!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did come across a few game galleries complaining about adblock turned on.
Saying adds support the web site, so please let us make some money, while you use our site.

Any ideas how this browser is activating adblock?

The FlashBrowser is suppose to be in alpha release status, so maybe some setting features are in the next release of it.
However, the release date is Sept. 23 2021, so this may be all there ever will be for a Linux version.

My flashprojector .pet (with 6 games) works in fossapup64 (menu entry under Fun, games are in /opt/flash). It is adobe's Flash v27 standalone player. Might be worth a try. Use at own risk. See: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wdzw6rct ... l.pet/file

Same approach as I take, Oz. I've got a directory with a few flash games I like, and a pair of the 'standalone' Flash players - one 32-bit, one 64-bit.....both the same version, somewhere in the high 20s. Depending on the Pup I'm using for the day, if I fancy playing around with one of these I just "drop" it onto the appropriate player binary, annnd.......away you go!

I have to agree with bigpup. I don't see FlashBrowser going anywhere, I'm afraid. I think the developer got all enthusiastic for 5 minutes or so.....and then changed his/her mind & thought better of it.

Anyway, for purely playing Flash games there ARE better solutions out there..!

Mike.

I have thrown together a portable, ROX-app build of this. IF anybody's interested, drop me a line - either here, or by PM - and I'll upload it.

Apart from that, I don't see me pursuing this. Sorry, guys.

@bigpup :-

Re: entering the URLs..? Don't forget, you CAN use Puppy's native copy/paste trick via the middle-mouse click.... It works for me, at any rate.

Mike.

use Puppy's native copy/paste trick via the middle-mouse click....

This is what I am doing and it works well on this and the Links2 browser URL input.

Thanks for the info everyone.

I added info in first post about copy/paste.

I have approximately 50,000 flash games installed on an external drive...i use 2 methods to use flash...use an older version of firefox(version 49) for this specific usage with firefox not connected to the network and then i simply drag and drop swf files into the url bar.

Another method is to use the adobe flash projector which accomplishes the same thing.
