After they more or less broke every Flash games, and after I realized they would not fix anything, I decided to try to do it myself. After struggling with different tools for something like eight months, and after working on my project for a few more months, I finally came up with something that allows players to chose between Flash, SuperNova (**SuperNova, yes, but, correctly implemented, without loading the bad files half of the time like Kongregate did**) and Ruffle to play Flash games on Kongregate. Thus, let me introduce you to my user script, the [Kongregate Flash games fixer](https://greasyfork.org/fr/scripts/438325-kongregate-flash-games-fixer).
___
**What does it do?** Well, it adds three buttons right above the Flash games.
The "Flash" button will load the game through... Flash. However, you will need a working version of Adobe Flash player and a browser that supports it: **if you do not already have these**, read [the post at the end of this page](https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/1954038-usermade-solution-to-the-flash-games-situation#posts-13669624).
The "SuperNova" button will both load (PROPERLY; in other words, without the "Gameshell" and "sitelocks" issues) the SuperNova interface and the game (so no need to click the "play" button"). **Games will even load when getsupernova.com is down or more generally when the "play" button does not appear for whatever reason.**
Finally, the "Ruffle" button will load the game through Ruffle (you can find more information about it at ruffle.rs). However, Ruffle is still in development so not everything works yet (this includes high scores submission). On top of that, due to Kongregate's bad habit to host their files on too many different subdomains, another issue raised for which my workaround slightly lowers the number of playable games (this should disappear over time, though).
Unfortunately, Flash is not supported by all browsers, SuperNova is not compatible with all of them either and it seems that Ruffle only works in browsers compatible with WebAssembly (or something like this...).
___
**How to install it?**
First, you need a browser extension that manages user scripts:
* For Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, ...): Tampermonkey
* For Firefox: Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey
* For Basilisk: Greasemonkey
* For Pale Moon and White Star: Greasemonkey (**Important:** To install Greasemonkey on these two browsers, open [this file](https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases/download/3.31.4Fork/greasemonkey-3.31.4-pm_forkBranch.xpi) in/with them, but for other browsers just proceed like you would do to install any extension.)
* For Waterfox Classic: Violentmonkey
* For Safari: Tampermonkey
* For Opera: Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey
* For other browsers: other monkeys... but, most of the time, you will be able to use either Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey (if not several of them)
Once you have a user script manager, go to [this page](https://greasyfork.org/fr/scripts/438325-kongregate-flash-games-fixer) and click on "install".

I tested this on Firefox, Pale Moon, White Star (Pale Moon for Mac), Edge, Chrome, Basilisk and Waterfox Classic, and everything that was supposed to work, worked. Unfortunately, there are things I have sadly no control over (like SuperNova only working on Windows or Ruffle not working in Pale Moon, Waterfox,...).

Can you test it on the Male Poon browser

So, who was saying that they don't have a clue about these things?!? :P
You did it, buddy!
It is just sad that this doesn't get more attention...
About Ruffle and similar, maybe check "swf2js auto-apply script"

Considering that the API refuses to work, we cannot really say that I did it...
**Edit: Now we can say that I did it!**

Oh well, since this forum will be locked today or tomorrow, it seems that this thread will at least be on the first page of the Kongregate forum forever... All of the few people who could be interested should end up here, finding it.

I guess you missed the part of his post which said that he'd already tested it on Pale Moon... (which you quoted)

I'm talking about the Male Poon browser, not Pale Moon.

As said above: for those struggling with Flash, this may help.

### How to get a working installation of Adobe Flash Player
FateIsEscaped did a pretty good job at compiling ways to play Flash games in [this thread](https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/1932807-here-are-ways-to-continue-playing-flash-games-in-2021). There are several methods to get a working version of Flash and a browser that still supports it, but here is mine:
**Step 1: A browser supporting Flash**
Install a browser supporting Flash. I recommend [Pale Moon](https://www.palemoon.org) (Windows and Linux) or [White Star](https://dbsoft.org/whitestar.php) (Pale Moon for Mac).
**Step 2:** (Windows and Mac only, I think)
**If** Flash is already installed on your computer and **if** the version number is strictly higher than 32.0.0.371, then uninstall it.
**Step 3: A working version of Flash**
Download and unzip [these zipped files](https://archive.org/download/flashplayerarchive/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_32.0.0.371_archive.zip). Then, open the correct installer for your system: *flashplayer32_0r0_371_win.exe* (Windows), *flashplayer32_0r0_371_mac.dmg* (Mac), *flashplayer32_0r0_371_linux.i386.tar.gz* (32-bit Linux) or *flashplayer32_0r0_371_linux.x86_64.tar.gz* (64-bit Linux).
**IMPORTANT:** If asked at the end of the installation, disable the automatic updates!
**Note:** If you are using another browser, you *might* need to run the files that have the same names but lso contain "pep". This will be the case for Chrome, Edge and Opera.
*Now, you can play Flash games with Adobe Flash Player again when they are embedded as Flash content. You can now resume your reading of the beginning of this thread.*

I had not replied yet because I thought I could find a funny answer. Well, I could not... sorry, I tried hard!
