N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

Some practical Flash 9.4 questions (please) :)

1. Do a lot of the Flash games play well on sites such as Addicting Games.com? Examples are the arcade and Scorched Earth type games.

2. Do the games zoom to full screen or do they stay in a window? Since a lot of games are in a small window on a desktop display, they would be super micro teeny on a 3.5" display. The Archos 5 (last year's version) plays Flash games in full screen, which is nice (but only using Flash 8). Advantage is no browser overhead when just running the game.

3. Since the browser is Firefox, will we be able to save Flash games and play them off line if we want? There are a few Firefox plug-ins that allow this. Just save as swf and click & run when you want.


If we can play the Flash games well with the N900, most of us will be fine for impulse games for a looooong time. :)

I can't answer for the N900, but I will say that many simple Flash games work on the N810. The N900 will have a faster processor, so performance will be less of a limiting factor. However, some games have action associated with mouse hovering and this is a fail on a touchscreen device. Also, some games require fast keyboard usage that may be hard on a mobile device. I have no doubt that you will be able to download them (although you may need a hacker method to do so) and play them either in the browser or a third-party app.

I've only tried this once or twice, but here's what I've seen.

1. Some do, some don't. Kitten Cannon runs pretty well and that's about all I can say.

2+ 3. If you download the .swf and run it through a bookmark or through file manager, it opens up in Maemo Browser full screen.

Hi,
I checked my n900 flash version and it says 9.0.2.... I thought that it's supposed to be 9.4 since it was written everywhere. How could I install it? I can't even watch videos on facebook someothers can play farmvillie? I would be very happy if you could help me. Thanks a lot

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

fi7xer, you need the tweaker flash version thingy from the repos. Once you've installed that, you'll be able to trick the websites into thinking that you've got flash 10 installed.

This only works on certain websites but definitely lets you play the videos and farmville on FBook although the latter is very very slow and laggy.

Thank You

Thank you orion88freedom, I'll try it but I'm also wondering that isn't a normal n900's flash version 9.4? my devices version is 10.201019-1.203.1 this must be the lastest version. So why does some sites which checks flash version says mine is 9.0.2.... is your devices flash player 9.4? if it is so how were you abe to update? thanks a lot

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

honestly, i've never checked what version my flash was....but i did use the flash tweaker to disguise it as a 10.1

if you tell me where to check it, i'll check and get back to you....

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

www.playerversion.com, when I enter thsi site it says LNX 9,0,260,0. thanks

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

Oh yeah, I remember now. When you install the tweaker flash thingy, it does initially tell you what you've got installed.....I had the same as yours.....

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

yeah the tweaker works. Nevertheless I guess
this 9.4 version is just lie

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

Yes, the N900 has never had version 9.4. I think Nokia should have clarified their specs as Flash 9.4 compatible. It really is false advertising to say it has Flash 9.4 when it doesn't and in some countries, that is a legal offense.....

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

at this point I really dissappointed from N900. I should have waited for the next gen. meego devices. anyway what is done can't be undonne:mad:

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

Actually, 9.4 is in regards to it being the the actual number of 9.0.124 and higher.

So the argument that the N900 has never had 9.4 is very incorrect. The build number denotes the actual version number, meanwhile they push out numbers like 9.4 and whatnot to show major revisions in what the flash player can do.

Just like Windows 7 is the seventh major revision of Windows; however it uses a modified version of the 6.1 kernel (build 7600).

Re: N900 Flash 9.4 questions
 

thanks gerbick this was very illimunative, I guess we just have to wait for real 10.1 upgrade for n 900. as orion said the tweaker thingy is not very useful
