Flash Without Emulation

Since 2021, Flash Player is officially discontinued and for security reasons games can in most cases no longer be played. Use this guide at your own risk.

How to play flash games without Flashpoint or browser extensions? Here is a quick guide! Inspired by Li Speak's video.

Step 1: Download a flash-enabled browser, like Palemoon or Waterfox Classic. I personally used Palemoon as I am on a windows system.

Step 2: Install Adobe Flash Player. You can achieve this by accessing GaiaOnlines Game page, where they give you a direct link to download flash from their site.

Step 3: Use the Wayback Machine to access the site in the time you want to play. Flash was discontinued in 2022, meaning most pages pre-2022 work.

Step 4: Profit! Most sites will load like normal, allowing you to play the game on it's original hardware! This allows you the closest to original play ability. I personally used this to archive Raceday, my childhood flash game's unused horse colors, as some websites wouldn't load all of the colors found in-game.

Have fun! ~SakuraStallion
