Can this be used with Opera? #36

Open blackdrago opened 2 years ago

blackdrago commented 2 years ago

Firstly, thank you for this repo.

Secondly, I have a question about using this with Opera. I currently use Opera to access Flash (and changing the date of my system clock to avoid the kill switch), but obviously this causes issues with certificates, so I'm looking for an alternative. I'd prefer to continue using Opera only to access Flash, if that's possible.

Can this be used for Flash in the Opera browser? (Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using a Mac.) Are there any special considerations or extra steps required?

Hey @blackdrago!

You can use it for Flash in the Opera browser. FlashPatch is a Windows program but there are pre-packaged versions of Flash at https://github.com/darktohka/clean-flash-builds.

If you go to https://github.com/darktohka/clean-flash-builds/releases/tag/v1.29 there is a version of Flash 34.0.0.267 for Mac that has the timebomb removed. The ChineseFlash-PPAPI-PepperFlashPlayer.zip file can be downloaded, and the contents can be extracted to /Library (I think? I don't exactly have a Mac) but the point is that the original PepperFlashPlayer file has to be replaced with the one in the ChineseFlash-PPAPI-PepperFlashPlayer.zip archive.

Nosamu has created an experimental installer for 34.0.0.211 on Mac, which contains both versions for Firefox and Chrome/Opera: https://bluepload.unstable.life/cleanflash3400211.pkg Though, I'm not sure how exactly to install this (don't have a Mac).

I'm planning on creating a proper installer for Mac and Linux soon, whenever I find some extra time...
