As we cannot rely on the assumption that sites will stay up, we're working hard to grab as many games as possible while they're still here. Because of this, many sites that hosted Flash games have decided to remove them.
Emulators like Ruffle exist, but they have many flaws and are not compatible with all Flash content. However, since Flash support was removed from browsers, most people aren't able to play Flash content unless they downgrade their browser and Flash versions to one that does not contain the kill switch. Q: Didn't all Flash games disappear after December 2020?įlash games don't disappear by themselves. With Flashpoint's GameZIP Server, games can now be served from standalone ZIP files, but many of the Legacy games that were saved before the GameZIP Server was implemented still need to be converted. But because game files must be laid out the same way as they would be on the internet, for most of Flashpoint's existence it was impossible to separate game files cleanly into individual packages. Q: Can I have a zip or ROM of a specific game? Can I download just the games I want?įlashpoint Infinity downloads games on demand, so you can keep only the games you like by using Flashpoint Infinity. For more details, see How Flashpoint Works. These types of games are less likely to run with just the projector on their own, but Flashpoint also deals with that. Moreover, web games are commonly spread across multiple files rather than just one those are known as multi-asset games. Flashpoint gets around this by running the games through a local server proxy which, simply put, tricks them into thinking they are being played on the original sites they were meant to be played on. Since the projector is not connected to the Internet and cannot identify those sites, those games will refuse to load on it. Many web games have what is known as a sitelock, which means that they will not work unless they are being played on the original site they were hosted on.
Q: Why do I need Flashpoint to play the games offline? Can't I just use a standalone player like the Flash Player projector to play them?
