Emulating Flash

[MxyzptlkHavok]

After searching the forums and reading various posts,

I remained stumped as how to emulate flash.

So here's what I came up with...

1. XMouse360 (software)

Get it here:

2. Flash Movie Player from eolsoft (software)

get it here ---> http://www.eolsoft.com/download/get.php?url=fmp

online help with commandline

available here ---> http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/help/

Application Settings, view options: exact fit, always on top

3. Something to test it with

*.swf (flash Games); *.flv (flash video);

the player uses an fmp file type for playlists

Getting it to work:

Enabled: Yes

Emulator: Windows

Rom Filter: *.swf

Map Keys: Yes

Wait: 2000

Keys To Send: "{F11}"

Also Launch: \XMouse360.exe

Command Line: "[ROMPath]\[ROMFile]"

Launch After: tskill XMouse360

Advanced Config: [Mapping Off] Exit (ALT+F4)

""

That's about it... but i'm sure there's a better way to do this.

Let's brainstorm.

In the mean time, the in-between time, hope this helps.

usage could include... adding to screensaver (flash logos and video for your theme), simple flash forms (eg. content requests), etc.

Quick note... also the flash player is set to always on top (application setting)

Nice contribution. Thanks!

This is a nice addition to the community. Thanks!

To be picky though...this is not emulating Flash. This is setting up Flash software in GameEx. Emulating Flash would not make sense since it's available for all platforms that GameEx runs on.

@bkenobi: Yeah,I know, but the title states what you want to do and the subtitle states what you're really going to be doing. Plus... we need to be picky, or we'll never accomplish anything.

Note: the above implementation utilizes the Xbox360 controller... for testing purposes, but i'm sure a similar result could be achieved with something like JoyToKey for the true CabHeadz out there, and it would be better for games that require more actions than just clicking. (now, if I could only get java working... HeeHee)

SHOUTOUTS go 2 Tempest & Obiwan for recognizing the contribution.

You should consider putting a copy of your first post into the stickied User Submitted Configs, Map Files, Wrappers and Databases (Uploads)

Edit:

Also, How you displayed the info is fine, but you might want to 'Export' your config using the Advanced Configuration program. You can save, zip, and post the file so that others can just 'Import' it.
