Local Flash playback: we now have unlimited games! :)
Perhaps some people already know this, but I thought I would start a thread about it. It seems if you save flash-based files (i.e. games in .swf files) you can play them offline on your IT's. I've already tried several and they work well. The larger flash games (5-8mb+) are extremely slow, but most of them aren't that large.
If you are using Mozilla Firefox, here's how to save the .swf flash files: Once you are on the page of the flash animation, click on "Tools", then "Page Info"; once there, click on the "Media" tab and find the embedded flash file (usually in .swf format) and click on "Save as" and save it on a memory card or on your HD, and then copy it over to a memory card and it will open in the browser. As for the flash games, I have been using 2flashgames.com, but there are quite a few others as well. Try some games and let me know what you think! |

It seems the all of the smaller flash files I have tried run perfectly. The larger they get, the slower they get. Remember, we only have 400mhz to work with.

I spent a few hours cruising awful, ad-laden flash sites, looking for n800 friendly games. Most of the bells-and-whistles games didn't fare so well. Definitely some nice stuff out there though.
Maybe we could use this thread to get a list going (and perhaps, eventually, a simple database page)?

Good idea to make a collection of usable Flash games! Some of them are even hardwired to a certain URL and refuse to run if saved.
Enjoy!

Re: We now have an unlimited number of games! :)
Is there a way to disable the flash player options from popping up when holding the stylus on the screen for some of these games?
Thanks. :) |
