Make a video for this because I have zero technical skill

How do I uninstall an update?

EinMeister 2021-01-15 05:16:39

Nvm apparently the only security update for flash I have installed can't be uninstalled, I have no idea what went through Microsoft's heads when they thought it is ok to uninstall and block content without asking people first. Fuck their cortana and their windows defender and onedrive and windows updates and all of the junk preinstalled in windows. I wish they made a version of windows for people that aren't tech illiterate.

Tnx deleting security updates did the trick for me.

@Sonucais nvm i fixed it

OnixDark 2021-01-15 07:55:49

the cfg file thing didn't work for me, so I have 3 questions:
1) how do I run flash player via run as date? making the browser itself run with it wasn't enough.
2) if I resort to the archieve.org download, which file should I download?
3) sorry for the stupid question, but is it possible to downdate flash without uninstalling?
ps. thanks for posting the guide above.

@Sonucais Thanks for the help, that Flash Player you linked a download to seems to be working perfectly. Also, in response to your reply to my first comment: Yeah, it was just showing the EndOfFlash info logo. Anyways, thanks again for all the help!

I did this and my pc had a shit fit and i had to format... not worth it, just find the .EXE of the game and download it to play.

tetrodine 2021-01-15 10:59:54

I cannot find that active_x.msi through the archives presented and I'm still getting the same message. I might just need a video. xD

needforsuv 2021-01-15 11:30:37

My flash works fine without any workarounds (32.0.0.223) Chrome 51 default.

But Newgrounds wont let me run flash in browser

all this security stuff is BS, I have Win 7 with the last update pack before the spectre bs and it's fine (got norton anyways)

needforsuv 2021-01-15 12:59:13

@Sonucais don't care about using it in browser

what do you mean about ruffle?

Chrome 51 doesn't do webassembly, so it'll run flash native. As does edge 84, since I have to enable flash for a flash game to run

EDIT: you mean the play icon?

How do you disable it?

Because something like this don't work... in edge 84

'EDIT': (Curse you newgrounds)

wait, it does, but not in chrome... so how you turn off ruffle?

needforsuv 2021-01-15 13:01:02

If I try to run ruffle with chrome, it hangs the tab, and seems to use more resources anyway in browsers that work.

Sonucais 2021-01-15 13:01:04

@needforsuv Do you have the last Chrome update? I'm using Brave last version. It's based on Chromium if you want to install it, works flawless.

needforsuv 2021-01-15 13:03:00

@EinMeister

Same people who make oversized flat UI's.

That's why all my updates (not that I get ANY since Windows 7) are manual since the spectre pert nerf BS!

needforsuv 2021-01-15 13:21:52

@Sonucais

ABSOLUTELY NOT, I do not have the latest Chrome!

If you read my original post, you'll note I have Chrome 51, which is the last version that has windows gdi, every chromium version, edge, etc. since then has over gotten bigger UI's with everything more oversized, flatter like paper, rounder images and stuff, and TERRIBLY BLURRY font smoothing (directwrite) that was NEVER FIXED.

I ONLY use edge for terrible sites that manage to forget the rule of web compatibility [including newgrounds (since that's relevant here), because I can't even login (I logged in on edge and copied the cookies)].

Often, things LOOK the same visually rendered, but they update to JS and whatever methods with less support!

Anyway, how do I disable ruffle? Can I even disable it?

WVSSAZ 2021-01-15 13:24:35

At some point will NG have a fix for the player? i am not code knowledgeable enough to try these fixes.

needforsuv 2021-01-15 13:51:24

Okay, so I figured out you can get the naked swf file by inspecting a ruffle run page (on a browser that works) and play that (in a browser that allows you to play naked flash files, like IE9 or something)!

Quality is SO MUCH better!

https://uploads.ungrounded.net/301000/301341_The_Fancy_Pants_Adventures.swf

(Or decode the ruffle embed info - no achievements, I suppose... https://uploads.ungrounded.net/ruffle_wrapper/ruffleembed.html?v=1.0.64&browsermode=blah blah)

OR just looking at the network requests for armor games to find the swf file

https://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/XXX-XXX-###.swf?v=########

PERFECT!

Don't care about achievements anyway!

WVSSAZ 2021-01-15 13:59:09

@WVSSAZ @Sonucais Groovy far out even

spiele-umsonst 2021-01-15 14:09:14

Okay I try to post on this now. So others may learn from it. Basically I want flash files to still work locally. For example. JPEX Flash Decompiler doesn't show all the flash stuff anymore if you don't re-set the date.

Also If you run a software which uses like the flash.ocx and call a flash file from there it doesn't load anymore. I build an mms.cfg file which helped me to run a local file and allow it to run like in chrome. but they still don't load proberly in JPEX even thou I allow them. References:

my mms.cfg:

EOLUninstallDisable=1
EnableAllowList=1
ErrorReportingEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
EnableInsecureLocalWithFileSystem=1
EnableInsecureAllowListLocalPathMatching=1
EnableInsecureActiveXNavigateToURL=1
AllowListUrlPattern=file:///c:/Users/Logo%20Tipp/AppData/Roaming/Logo/Legacy/swf/lottogross/
AllowListUrlPattern=file:///c:/Users/Tipp-Terminal/AppData/Roaming/Logo/Legacy/swf/lottogross/
AllowListUrlPattern=blob:*

Resoruces:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/flash-player/ie-11-ignores-allowlisturlpattern-in-mms-cfg/m-p/11702967?page=1
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide/pdf/latest/flash_player_32_0_admin_guide.pdf

Especially look up for:

EnableInsecureLocalWithFileSystem=1
EnableInsecureAllowListLocalPathMatching=1

Which helps to let .swf files run from file://

Via that I could get those files run in the internet explorer using a index.html which embeds them and via chrome
if I paste the mms.cfg in the directory. It worked afterwards and ran. But as I said those files from JPEX
doesn't load correctly and from other programs. So I don't know if they look up fot the mms.cfg or not.
Does anyone know how to find out where it looks after and mms.cfg and how. Especially the Flash.ocx
I thought it should work like I did but it doesn't
