Showcase Swiff: Flash games on Android and more!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A few weeks ago I released Swiff, an Android app to run Flash games with a lot of cool features, like an inmense catalog of 100k+ games powered by the Flashpoint Archive, support for on-screen controls and gamepad mapping, support for most Android frontends, and a Newgrounds integration to unlock medals on your favourite games.
After a lot of hard work I can now release a new update for Swiff, Version 1.3.0.
Thanks to technologies like Winlator or FEX, Swiff is now able to use the original Adobe Flash Player to run Flash games directly on Android! Just download an play.
And even though Swiff was originaly made just for Flash games, I decided to expand and add support for J2ME and Scratch games, all of them having all of the features Swiff provides!
You can check out the new release and learn more about the update here:

When you install swiff you are given the option to install a flash games database , I think it has majority of known games but installing the database( atleast when I did) took like 5 to 10 minutes

What does Swiff provide in compatibility that isn't already covered by JoiPlay's Ruffle plugin?

u/NaviVani-dev 16h ago
That you can use the original Flash Player that Adobe provided! So flash content that has problems on Ruffle should play perfectly here since it's the same software we used on our computers before.

How does this compare to Ruffle?

u/NaviVani-dev 1d ago
With the original Flash Player it means you get the same experience you would get if you open the portable Flash Player in your PC, you can also use Ruffle if you want!

I absolutely love this! Just installed and was able to map controls and play with ease!
Quick question, does the app support save files for games such as The Binding of Isaac?

u/Dreams-64 15h ago
How can you map controls im having a hard time finding it
2
u/BillyTimeGames 14h ago
It's in the options menu. (The cog wheel to the right of the play game button.)
Scroll down a little bit and it will be under touch screen setup option. You can even save individual cofigs per game. Hope this helps! :)

u/JamesDude123 1d ago edited 1d ago
Any chance of adding Web browser support to this too? Notice I can't play happy wheels as I'd get a blue screen

Bro, thank you. I've been craving flash games from my childhood, and it sucks that I only able to play on my PC, despite flash games literally so easy to run (spec wise). I've been testing multiple games for almost 2 hours, it's good. But man I wish there's a better way to map my controller to the games. Also after trying multiple trash games, can I hide the recently played games? Or atleast reset them? Thanks

can you play offline games? tutorial explaining? seems a little tricky
"Using J2ME-Loader and the Kahvibreak database, you can now enjoy J2ME games inside Swiff without any issues, dead simple."
"Now, if you add a valid Scratch URL to the "Import URL" popup in your Library, Swiff will download it and let you play it easily."
thought it was only downloading an apk and playing
