I went through this a few weeks ago and found a site that explains how to run Flash games standalone: https://www.howtogeek.com/438141/how-to-play-adobe-flash-swf...

Basically there is a program you can download from Adobe called Flash Player Projector Content Debugger, then you just point that at the .swf and go.

An open source emulator would be better in the long term, but for now this is easier than trying to find a browser that still supports Flash natively.

You really don't need a tutorial to use Flash Projector. :)

• Mac: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/3...

• Linux: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/3...

Download the version for your platform and open the swf file you want to run. That's it.

Linux users can also use the community-packaged Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.adobe.Flash-Player-Proj... All other links come from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.ht...

There's actually a project just for that. It aims to archive every single flash games on the internet in a playable format outside of the web browser. It can even simulate situations where the flash game needs to access asset files from the original server. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/

I think newgrounds (a big flash games/videos portal) is offering such a tool, but I didn't tried it, since flash was still working in the browser.

There is Flashpoint

There's this: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

Looks like it got dropped from Ubuntu though.

There is, but it doesn't work very well or at all depending on your source flash file.
