Update - this might have been trying to connect to a multiplayer server, might not work at all anymore.


sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but are there any plans (even if for a very distant future) for ruffle to "replace" (for lack of a better word) certain cloud features with local saves (such as games that only save via cloud)? or when a multiplayer game with singleplayer mode refuses to load because it can't find the server?

It might be considered outside the scope of Ruffle, although it would be great if Ruffle could detect common code (Gamersafe for example) and replace the calls with some sort of local storage.


If that never happens, there's the possibility of editing the code in the swf files directly to have something else happen there, just hard to say if or when that would ever happen.

@torpedolab's 2009 games are now running via Ruffle, with updated thumbnails!



I've been using the Legendary Games box to highlight some classics, as well.

I haven't switched Enough Plumbers over yet because performance gets slow when you have a lot of plumbers in play.



But here is a fascinating observation.


Enough Plumbers came out in 2010 and it lets you clone a Mario-like character. There are buttons with number requirements, like 10, where you need to gather 10 clones on the button to activate it.


In 2013, Super Mario 3D World introduced the Double Cherry, which creates a duplicate of your character. There are buttons with numbers on them, where you need to gather your clones to activate them.


Did 3D World take a cue from Enough Plumbers? Or did this exist in any older Mario games?

- the terminal in the game doesn’t display it’s text correctly & the text scrolling is broken

Did some brief testing, found no issues. Submitter has stated it didn't work in Ruffle for them, so more testing's likely necessary. Probably a Chrome/Firefox difference.


Ran one loop without issue. [enable ruffle]

Wonder why that Kirby one didn't work for them, it seems pretty straightforward.
