    sadly Ruffle doesn't support OPENGL on native desktop so you can't emulate flash on desktop if your hardware doesn't have vulkan support... but you still can open using browser addons..

    it's still big issue on ruffle because you need modern graphic card support only for playing old flash game ? really....
