Revision as of 07:49, 26 December 2020
GOAL:
- To Test Flash Alternatives that work past its End of Life.
Current Plans and Results
- Mirroring (allows to run toons and games from standalone command line tools):
- HRWiki:Projects#List_all_Homestarrunner.com_files
- User:Nerd42's SWF Download page
- User:Purple Wrench's Homestar Offsite
- Stinkoman 20X6 Source Files (also make sure it's updated)
- Candidate platforms:
- Test Lightspark -- Status:
- Was able to successfully compile and install version 0.8.3 (including setting up the browser plugin for Pale Moon).
- Compiled on Debian 10 following these instructions
- Some dependencies were missing:
gettextbut I already hadbuild-essentialinstalled (see this issue) - The requirement for
glibmm-2.4was removed after the 0.8.3 release here.
- However, H*R seems to use an older version of Flash Lightspark doesn't support well.
- See: this issue
- Next: try to compile and run latest trunk, see if AVM1 support has improved. (Done)
- Sadly, although there were improvements, they did not work as expected. At least the number of AVM1 errors were reduced.
- However, when playing video the sound was glitched, started over and became out of sync with the video
- Most video has artifacts and did not display properly
- Main Menu, toons menu, games menu did not work. Stinkoman did not work either (black screen after briefly showing "loading..." message)
- The characters menu was the only thing that worked correctly (even the eject button worked!). The SBE menu loaded partially.
- Next Steps:
- Report issues in github: reported here.
- Lern Actionscript and try to contribute (if I have time ^_^;)
- Was able to successfully compile and install version 0.8.3 (including setting up the browser plugin for Pale Moon).
- Gnash (software)?
- Apparently no longer compiles on "modern" systems: see this issue
- Try to compile in VM or using method reported above
- Flash Standalone (will it work indefinitely?):
- Ruffle (software) at the internet archive (src):
- Test Lightspark -- Status:
