Flash Games

It will probably have some form of Gnash, the GNU flash player, which supports most of the Flash specification, but whether it will run fast or not depends a huge lot on the game. Most (ie: no badly done games or fancy 3D) should run fine, however.
Flash is closed source and unless the pandora will get as popular as the PSP, I doubt Adobe will release a flash player for it.
The linux x86 flash player could be used on other architectures (it has been tried for PPC) with the help of qemu, but that would be very, very, VERY slow.
Gnash is only has good support for flash 7 and not even youtube works perfectly. Don't count on it.
Just stay away from flash in general and you'll be a happier person.

Not to mention that there's a cross-platform, cross-os exploit using Flash that's in the wild...sindbad said:
Not a good thing to have going on a hand-held wireless gaming unit, is it?

My home PC barely manages to do that XD. I don't play many Flash based games though.dizang said:
From what I've read, the exploit still requires that the malicious code be specifically crafted for the target platform and OS. I don't think anyone would bother writing anything that would affect the pandora seeing as its userbase will be relatively small.Svartalf said:Not to mention that there's a cross-platform, cross-os exploit using Flash that's in the wild...

... unless that 'anyone' is part of GPH.

I did read that Adobe has actually got a version of their flash player specially optimised for the OMAP3. Of course, you'd have to pay them to get hold of it...

The modern Dual Core PC of my Buddy also has trouble with Flash Games, many Tower-Defense Games are Flash based and they all need 100% Processor Power and they all getting slow when the On screen Action increases. This Flash seems to be one of the ineffectivest and unoptimizest pieces of Software around. :lol:Shiny said:
But why Adobe shouldn't realease a free Flash for ARM? They offer Flash Player for free and a Open OS doesn't mean automaticly Open Source (if I understand this right) so when Adobe itself makes a Flash for Linux ARM especialy OMAP, nobody needs the Sauce, right? ^_^
