The ultimate emulator list [2026]
Here are the best emulators for any system (well the most popular systems at least)!
At least according to me.
SAY GOODBYE TO BIG COMPANIES WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES
Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up.
That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!
favs, keepers, forget-me-not's
as the title says; this is an assortment of apps, software, services and webpages i either frequently use or find worth remembering.

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.
