  • Doesn't work for

    Forge of Empires - sad.

    The game is that simple I thought it might work.

    It dosen't......

  • These steps worked perfectly for me to get Flash installed on my Raspberry Pi. The website I need it for is now working great, except for one minor issue. When I load the site, it tells me that my version of Flash is outdated and gives me the issue to "Run This Time" or "Update". If I choose to update, it takes me to a web page describing how to fix issues with Flash.

    Any idea where I can get an updated version of Flash?

    Thanks,
    Merg

    • Okay, I think I figured it out... If I download the most recent 32-bit version PPAPI from Adobe and then start with the directions beginning with the untar step, I should be good, right?

      I assume that when editing the Pepper file I need to change the Flash version to the version that I downloaded, correct?

      Thanks,
      Merg
