Adobe Flash masterpiece movies will be accessible on the Internet Archive even after the end of support in December 2020

Many movies and games created using Adobe Flash, which will be completely discontinued on December 31, 2020, have been published on the Internet.

Flash relies on a particular proprietary player, so if Adobe Flash is deprecated, a lot of content will disappear and no one will be able to enjoy Flash content.

The Internet Archive has been working on The Emularity, a project that runs all kinds of older software on a browser for the past decade. And as part of that, we used a Flash emulator called ' Ruffle ' to enable playback of Flash content in the Internet Archive.

Below is the Flash content page that was actually published in the Internet Archive and made playable by Ruffle.

Ruffle and Flash are not 100% compatible, and not all Flash content can be played, but most will be able to be played smoothly and accurately in the browser.

Also, with conventional browsers, it was necessary to install a dedicated plug-in to play Adobe Flash content, but with Flash emulation using Ruffle, there is no need to install a plug-in, and everything that supports Webassenbly It seems to work with the browser of.

The Internet Archive also provides a demo page to test the compatibility of Ruffle and SWF format files for creators and artists who have created content using Flash.
