Here are the best emulators for any system! At least according to me.
What is Ruffle?
Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in Rust. Ruffle runs natively on all modern operating systems as a standalone application, and on all modern browsers through the use of WebAssembly. Leveraging the safety of the modern browser sandbox and the memory safety guarantees of Rust, we can confidently avoid all the security pitfalls that Flash had a reputation for. Ruffle puts Flash back on the web, where it belongs - including iOS and Android!
Designed to be easy to use and install, users or website owners may install the web version of Ruffle and existing flash content will "just work", with no extra configuration required. Ruffle will detect all existing Flash content on a website and automatically "polyfill" it into a Ruffle player, allowing seamless and transparent upgrading of websites that still rely on Flash content.
Ruffle is an entirely open source project maintained by volunteers. We're all passionate about the preservation of internet history, and we were drawn to working on this project to help preserve the many websites and plethora of content that will no longer be accessible when users can no longer run the official Flash Player. If you would like to help support this project, we welcome all contributions of any kind - even if it's just playing some old games and seeing how well they run.
Comments and Reviews
Runs pretty well for something that's still in development. Strong contender for the future go to player for flash games.
some SWF contains ActionScript 3 which is not yet supported by Ruffle. The movie may not work as intended.
I mean ruffle now has decent support for actionscript 3
I have a swf that has a movie in it. The Ruffle emulator opens up the browser to play the movie instead of inside the emulator itself.
User-friendly, devs seem to genuinely care!
The Ruffle project has an online demo where you can upload an SWF file for playback, through the use of WebAssembly. I uploaded a random flash movie from years ago and it worked perfectly. Here's a direct link to the Ruffle online demo: https://ruffle.rs/demo/
The example I uploaded only had basic mouse interaction, I haven't yet tried interactive flash games yet.
There's actually a project called
Flashpoint Archive and another called "Flash Games Archive" that have thousands of SWF flash games. Both are dubious seeming executable programs, so be careful.
