starfiretbt Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Before I started emulating old games I played and still play a lot of online games. Most online games require adobe flash to run which I hear web browsers are giving up. I downloaded a swf file player as an emulator and have been saving the web pages the games have been hosted on so the games I loved aren't lost forever. However Most of what I save from the web page looks like useless files, such as files intended to run ads. I can recognize the .swf file and can guess which files I don't need but I can't tell if some of the files in the folder are essential for the running of the game. Can Launch box tell if a file is needed for a game to function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 LaunchBox doesn't know what a game requires in order to run it. It just launches a file either directly or through an emulator with parameters of your choice. Everything else is up to the game/emulator itself. If you want to play flash games you really should take a look at the Flashpoint project. https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thWolf Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Flashpoint really is awesome! And yes those additional files are essential. Flashpoint will not run properly though if you run through a mapped network drive like I do. Flash Player Projector (Adobe's Flash reader) is still the only way I go if that's what you want. You can use Flashpoint to get the games for you, then move them over to where ever you like to use FPP. However the more complex games like Super Mario Crossover I haven't gotten it to work. I don't understand the file structure other then the SFW file and how to move them over and use just FPP. If anyone knows how we could take the zip folder Flashpoint creates for the game and get it to work with FlashPlayer Projector, the help would be tremendous!!!

5thWolf Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) I just tried to see if the latest version of Flashpoint (v13) works through network mapped drive and still nothing. Works on any physical drive. The importer does me no good at this point because I can't get Flashpoint to work on the network drive. Every platform/emulator/windows game I run is on my network drive launched through LaunchBox. Flashpoint is the only app of any emulator I have that doesn't work. If any wise person out there is willing to help me figure out FP through network drive I would be forever grateful! If I ever get it going then I can go into anything with flash games head on. Edited May 24 by 5thWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
