    it looks all the files are unmodified, no nothing seems ported they're probably using a ruffle implementation

    I guess the one to step in is Ruffle

    I don't think Ruffle is HTML5. something about Web assembly and rust?

    yeah, pretty much. they're even making new ones, too

    you can spoof URLs on the Ruffle desktop player, but not using the extension

    Ruffle isn't a reverse engineered project, from what I can tell. it seems like they're following some spec, and comparing with the flash player, not decomping it

    Ruffle has been getting pretty good. Lots of customization. I hope they can improve the performance at some point, and keep all the options.

    There's a reason you don't see too many HTML gaming websites, it itsn't that great for games, as much as they would like it to be.

    Absolutely. Get the authoring software, (I hear a certain animate archive has them) and post to NG like all the Flash forward jammers have Ruffle works wonders

    that's true. I think a few flash games did a split swf thing for DRM purposes, and yeah. look where that got them... lost media ahoy for html5

    while that might be true, its probably more true that they want to own the internet (see: nonstandard changes within chrome, forcibly making chromium dominant, the AMP debacle) and…

    now that is the real flaw of flash, and the most overlooked bit. all the while people (and adobe) were making login pages and security within flash (which is insane, you don't use …

    nah, HTML5 was and still isn't good enough for a straight conversion, as years of flash ""alternatives"" have shown us.

    less rose tinted glasses and more the insanity of people entrusting logins and security to flash player to start with, or even adobe for adding that in. Yknow. if it was riddled wi…

    yeah I remember that people demonized flash so much for that and turned a blind eye once html and javascript was given that power. jokes on them now, I guess not to mention flash c…

    yeah, a lot of flash content that was SVG exclusive can go up past 4k and look stunning, and flash was the only one around then (and debatably, now) with an editor to let someone l…

    adobe was the death of flash. Macromedia had a better handle on it, and when adobe bought it, then ran it into the floor and gave up early, leaving it to rot. I don't think they co…
