Is the Firefox flash plugin too slow to play games with? Even with a swap file?
I have played it a lot on N900, plays fine and I don't see why it wouldn't? You only miss the pinch-zoom, but that's overrated anyway.
Pretty much. Swap file would not speed it up any. In fact, swap could potentially slow it down, but there's no reason it should be using swap. Swap speeds up Firefox in general because the cached pages become bloated and fill RAM. These pages that you aren't using right away can be swapped off to disk leaving more free RAM to the pages you are currently looking at. If you simply loaded a single tab, some game for example, there would be nothing to swap away so you wouldn't see any benefit.
There is no official Flash port. Adobe has made it available for 32bit Windows, x86 Linux, and Mac. I think they may have also just recently gotten their 64bit Windows port working, maybe? Anywho, point is that Adobe, despite saying they want Flash on everything, are way behind on actually getting Flash on anything. Texas Instruments has a working prototype of a Firefox Flash plugin, but it doesn't run nearly as well as it could. Officially, to get this prototype, you need to sign up with Texas Instruments, be approved, and then download it. Unofficially, someone "made a mistake" and "accidentally" included this prototype in the most recent Firefox 4b10 PND.I'm still confused about the whole Flash thing. Is it that you can't install Flash directly to the Pandora, but you can install it as part of Firefox? But then it still doesn't work well on Firefox? Why not? Confused
I've finished it on iPhone 4.
Ah how I love modern tech .. runs native on a 200mhz device; but on Firefox on my 4ghz quad core, it chugs like hell, because of webgl and other slow extensions. Yay for progress

I was thinking the same thing. That game could have been a 16bit game and it is unplayably slow on my modern mac. Is it bad coding or... it's just bad coding isn't it.
DSP: Digital Signal Processor. A second CPU that is very good at signal in-signal out kind of code. It would make simple work of taking a video file, for example, and outputing raw video data which can be displayed to the screen. Or MP3 into raw audio data (though we're not struggling much with that) or really lots of things. Exophase has some ideas about other things done in an emulator which could be offloaded to give a bit of a boost as well, but whether any of these things will actually happen or not is a big question.
Yes it does, Craig.
