This will bring up the Flash settings menu. From here, download a browser that’s still compatible with Flash 32.0.0.371 (which came out in May 2020) and find a mirror for the same version of Flash. You’ll need to press the block settings icon that appears on a page running Flash at the end of your address bar. To do this, set up a virtual machine and install the operating system of your choice (Windows is a good choice.).

In essence, you’re running an operating system on top of your existing operating system.

Free apps like VirtualBox (and premium ones like VMWare) can create a virtualized environment that poses no immediate threat to your system. If you were to run an older version of Flash that still technically works, you should probably do so in a secure environment like a virtual machine. We include this information here for informational purposes only. It has security vulnerabilities, and there are no more legitimate, official download sources. RELATED: How to Play Old Flash Games in 2020, and Beyond How Do I Run the Outdated Version of Flash? Warning: We really do advise against running an outdated version of Flash. In order to use Newgrounds natively, you can either use the Windows-only (and somewhat outdated) Newgrounds Player, or you can download the Ruffle browser extension and try that instead. You can keep tabs on the project via the Ruffle website, download the source code, and even try out a demo.And, of course, the entire Newgrounds library is still available. While Flash games may not be the prettiest compared the AAA titles of today, they are undeniably fun, and it’s wonderful that a strange piece of gaming history will be preserved. “The initial rollout will cover animated content, then gradually expand to cover more and more games.” In addition to web Flash content, the team will also be paying attention to which games and videos are touch-screen responsive, meaning they will be able to play on mobile as well. Since the developers of Ruffle have ties to Newgrounds, they will be implementing it right on the site without the need for an extension. Through the hard work of Welsh, Fulp, and their contributors, as well as a little bit of programming magic, eventually a browser extension of Ruffle will be able to identify “old Flash embed code and it with Ruffle, meaning you could visit any old website and the Flash will (eventually) just WORK.” The project is open source and has already attracted new contributors. “Ruffle is being written in the Rust programming language and targets desktop and the web using Web Assembly,” reads the post. What was originally supposed to be a surprise release for the users of Newgrounds was announced on the site a few days ago. The duo has been working on a browser-based Flash emulator called Ruffle for a bit now.
