Adobe will end their support of flash in 1 month and 1 week.

The archive's MIME type of swf files has been changed from "application/x-shockwave-flash" to "application/octet-stream". This causes browsers to treat the flash as a binary instead of trying to display it in fullscreen inside the browser. The change was made so that people that want to view the flash in their local flash player just need to "open" it in the default program when prompted. The MIME type here on the board is still the original value. Browsers that are unable to play flash will likely just always prompt the swf for download regardless.

also i keep hibernating my laptop while chrome is open is there a way to prevent windows and chrome from updating (the download is already finished just need to restart)

Also I think it's a good idea to stay clear from ruffle on the board.
There is really no need, anybody who actively wants to participate in that community is or shoud really look into using flash after 2021.
Also it's really just a way of uploading files into the archive and:
a) you can still do that even if you cannot open them afterwards and
b) someone who can't into using flash will most likely not be interested in handling or uploading actual swf files

Happy thanksgiving to all those actual PC flash users out there.

win10? Afraid there's no easy way, bra.
You might wanna meddle into your system to prevent updates alltogether, but that might not be such a secure solution.
For chrome I am sure there would be a setting in the config that turn on or off auto updates.

1: no idea, I use FF 51.0 no problems with flash on it.

2: yes, turn off windows update in control panel. then open "windows firewall">advanced settings, and make an incoming rule and block all of google's IP address ranges for chrome.exe and all the chrome installer helper exe msi and anything else that says installer in the chrome folders. this will stop updates being recieved, so if you install an old version of chrome without the flash block (maybe a year or 3 ago's version) then it will not be able to update to a flash blocking version.

for google and microsoft IP address ranges you can either find them live in TaskManager>Performance tab> resource monitor>network tab. microsoft's IP addresses will show up when you try to search for new windows updates. google's will show up if you set your default startup page in chrome to "about:blank" and open chrome. literally just block any IP's that pop up in resource monitor at that point. you may need to block the IP addresses by range. for a list of ranges you can search Googl IP address ranges in duckduckgo.com and get articles which give you a good selection of ranges to start with.

All in all im a big fan. Thanks for keeping things in their original .swf format too.

It's a hex edit that changes the date the plugin checks against for the shutdown (forced AllowList on the 12th) from that day to NaN (or infinity), so the check basically always returns false and the plugin is unbricked.

It will force you to edit the signed .exe which will at the very least make all anti-virus applications cry wolf and maybe get blocked by your browser.

I'm wondering about the effectiveness and viability of this.
As long as the AllowList is easy to use, I'll probably stick to it, but there are already bugs and this seems like a simple trick to keep the flash plugin with no strings attached.

But this can't be the end. There has to be a new way to safely play with all our swf-chans.

Will this come to mobile

I tried adding these to the file

AllowListUrlPattern = http://*.swfchan.org/
AllowListUrlPattern = *://*.swfchan.org/
AllowListUrlPattern = *://*.swfchan.net/
AllowListUrlPattern = *://*.swfchan.com/
AllowListUrlPattern = *://eye.swfchan.org/

I still cannot load any flash content from the archive. Any help?

And I already have

EnableAllowList = 1

Put mms.cfg in two places:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg

The last two entries are for 4chan and Newgrounds. It should work without saving as UTF8 but make sure you don't have it named "mms.cfg.txt" by mistake.

Edit: You need to put mms.cfg in a different place for Chrome, see >>82953

Thanks a bunch

I know it can't hurt to do it, but I thought it might be interesting to know that only the 32-bit folder (SysWOW64 on 64-bit and System32 on 32-bit, NOT System32 on 64-bit) is checked for the config file.
I was using a standalone palemoon browser on a different network folder and it still didn't load until I specifically put a mms.cfg in the 32-bit system folder.

>>82822
maybe 9chan has some sort of CDN domain

>>82924
ok not working still getting that EOL on chrome
my mms.cfg (C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash) am i doing it right

----- added 4plebs cuz i liek browsing teh archives and to find deleted kara boga posts (actually i use archived.moe)
inside my /Flash directory (5 files)
Flash10b.ocx
FlashUtil10b.exe
install.log
mms.cfg (added manually see above)
uninstall_activeX.exe

on the host w10 (not needed but gonna show it just in case) 4 files both folders same on sys32 and WOW64
activex.vch
Flash.ocx
FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe

any tips for me? (mine v10 got preinstalled by eXperience script where do i download flash v32 do i need to enable firewall later on)
my VM is a little slow (gonna clean furry cum stain .exe's in %appdata% by running portable antivirus) i have network issues caused by adware

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\U ser Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shock-wave Flash\System\mms.cfg

>Note: Google Chrome supports the ability for each user on the system to create multiple user Profiles within Google Chrome. Each Profile has a separate instance of browser data and config files, including Flash Player data. To modify behavior across each Profile and user on the system using mms.cfg, an mms.cfg would need to be placed in each relevant folder. The primary profile on the system is named "Default", and subsequent profiles are enumerated with the name "Profile <n>".
>The System directory may not exist. If not, create it manually.

It also says this on page 37:
>NOTE: Update related directives for Adobe Flash Player are not honored by Google Chrome. Google distributes Flash Player as a component of Chrome, via the Chrome automatic update mechanism. Administrators must use Chrome's administrative controls to modify the behavior of the Chrome updater.

So it seems like Chrome could decide to remove flash regardless of what mms.cfg says in terms of disabling auto-updates. I recommend everybody to move away from Chrome and help reducing Google/Alphabet's power over the internet just a little bit. The current Firefox version (84.0.2) can still make use of the NPAPI flash plugin, once that stops working I will switch to Firefox ESR and check if that still works. Once that stops working I'll see where to go next, I'm leaning towards Waterfox being the best option though I'm not convinced it is being updated frequently enough to respond to urgent security fixes. But there's always the argument that if it gets an influx of users it will also get more developers interested in the project.

now i can finally enjoy swiffs peacefully on my VM
ok the final step is backing up my chrome version (how do i do it is copying the program files folder enough do i need to add registry stuff)
also webgenie works fine without the EOL stuff lol

(ok now all i need left is the IE11 flash v32 plugin i am trying to save a small site)

>>82953
opening my trusty FFDEC gives the EOL message on the bottom right there is a yellow debug button
when I click it says WARNING failed to initialize flash panel
playing shape and moviess say this object cannot be previewed on your platform (windows only)
sounds play just fine on w10 host
on the guest VM nothing plays I don't see the EOL thing

anyone here uses flash.cn plug in (I don't want ching chong adware)
also how can I check what flash version and browser information I'm using (post made from webgenie player)

Anyone have a good option for playing files locally on your pc? I have so much saved but now half my media players for flash aren't working, and ruffle is way too early to be a default flash player.

Go to http://swfchan.com/end/ if you want to download "defused" plugins for Windows or Linux where Adobe's "time bomb" won't be able to trigger. You still install flash using Adobe's official installers and then you replace the plugins manually. Check the readme.txt for more info. The text file also has SHA-256 hashes of the fixed files as well as Adobe's official files, if you wish to download stuff from elsewhere and verify that it's the same files.

it seems like alot of work to go around and hoping alot of these downloads work and alot of them are slow. is there any way to change files already here to html5 like coolmathgames did? otherwise this site might lose alot of people as many might find it too mich work to find the one link that works for emulating the links
