Hello
I was contacted to revisit some old flash games and I wanted to give it a try.
I think it will be worthy to document the working flash games with Odin and possible also include those in Hobbes in some way. Maybe adding a install.cmd script to add an icon on the desktop, and include an PNG and ICO file for each. (I'm still brainstorming this)
I don't remember installing Flash on my ArcaOS VM and they work. Maybe the flash engine is embedded on the .exe.
Give a try this ones, run it like "pe eggs.exe" from the command line.
Do they work directly for you?

I tried these, nothing happened, possibly due to never having the Flash plugin installed here.
Bitwise simply wrapped the Win32 Flash plugin in an Odin wrapper so it is possible you have a Flash.exe or such installed somewhere.

Hello
Thanks for the feedback.
I don't know why they run here. I think I will try a Vanilla ArcaOS 5.1.1 VM Image and see if it runs there. Because I don't remember that I installed the Flash plugin on this VM.

Do you run
PE flashgame.exe or just the exe ?
PE.exe must be used
I confirm, no need to have Flash 0.4.2 installed.

Hello
I just confirmed on my Vanilla VM that the flash games run with "pe eggs.exe" (or the other exe files).

Here it is CrazyBall (A Pinball game) that you can play with the left and right keys.

Hi Martin,
Can I ask how you're doing the conversion from SWF to exe? I'm sure a batch script could be made easily enough.
Just editing my own reply: I've had luck with creating a projector through Flash 5's standalone player. Regrettably, it doesn't seem to be working on most of my flash library from the early to mid 2000s. Is there another possible method which may work with more SWFs? More specifically: any later versions of flash compatible with Odin?

Hello
I had been using this SWF converter online:
