SWF files are provided as is; can't guarantee they'll work without some kind of futzing as certain flash games did like to lock themself to one website, although a handful of files I tried in the standalone Flash player on Windows 10 did work as expected. If you have an older SWF you want to play, head to the free version demo and click “Browse” at the top of the page to load the SWF. Next, click “Upload” and wait some time for the SWF to load.
What is ruffle

Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in Rust. Ruffle runs natively on all modern operating systems as a standalone application, and on all modern browsers through the use of WebAssembly. Leveraging the safety of the modern browser sandbox and the memory safety guarantees of Rust, we can confidently avoid all the security pitfalls that Flash had a reputation for. Ruffle puts Flash back on the web, where it belongs - including iOS and Android!
Designed to be easy to use and install, users or website owners may install the web version of Ruffle and existing flash content will 'just work', with no extra configuration required. Ruffle will detect all existing Flash content on a website and automatically 'polyfill' it into a Ruffle player, allowing seamless and transparent upgrading of websites that still rely on Flash content.
Ruffle is an entirely open source project maintained by volunteers. We're all passionate about the preservation of internet history, and we were drawn to working on this project to help preserve the many websites and plethora of content that will no longer be accessible when users can no longer run the official Flash Player. If you would like to help support this project, we welcome all contributions of any kind - even if it's just playing some old games and seeing how well they run.
A Flash Player emulator called 'Ruffle' allows you to play your archived Flash games without fear of being attacked as you browse the web.
After 25 years of helping shape the Internet with interactive content and online games, Adobe Flash Player reached the end of life on January 1st, 2021, and all browser support has been removed. Later that month, a kill switch in Adobe Flash Player came alive that prevents Flash content in the player.
Adobe Flash Player was historically riddled with vulnerabilities, and Adobe fixed new ones almost every month. As nearly every browser included an Adobe Flash plugin, attackers created specially crafted websites and scripts that could infect a computer by merely visiting a web site.
While the end of Adobe Flash Player and browser plugins is a good thing, it does pose a problem for those who have amassed a large collection of Flash games over the years that they can no longer use.
Ruffle may be the answer
Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in the Rust programming language that has run every one of the old school SWF games that I could throw at it.
'Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator written in Rust. Ruffle runs natively on all modern operating systems as a standalone application, and on all modern browsers through the use of WebAssembly.
'Leveraging the safety of the modern browser sandbox and the memory safety guarantees of Rust, we can confidently avoid all the security pitfalls that Flash had a reputation for. Ruffle puts Flash back on the web, where it belongs - including iOS and Android!,' describes the Ruffle web site.
You can use Ruffle in three different ways - a standalone desktop application, embedded in a website as web assembly, or through a browser extension that allows you to run Flash content throughout the web.
In our tests, we used the standalone desktop application, that when opened, automatically asks you to load an SWF file. Every one we tried worked flawlessly, and you can see some examples below.
The real question, though, is it safe?
While any program can have vulnerabilities, as Ruffle is coded in Rust, it benefits from the programming language's built-in memory protection feature.
This feature eliminates many memory bugs, such as buffer overruns, use-after-free, data race conditions, and pointer related bugs. These bugs types commonly lead to vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player, allowing attackers to crash a system, allow arbitrary code execution, or leak information from a computer.
Though some portions of Ruffle's code utilize the 'unsafe' feature of Rust, most of the program uses memory protection, which significantly increases its security.

If you have an extensive collection of Flash games and no Adobe Flash Player to play them, the standalone desktop Ruffle player is a great option to allow you to play your old games in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
