Without some decent open-source version, there is no chance. And to my knowledge, the only open-source flash players are quite useless for most Flash games because they only work up to a certain version of Flash. And even if they weren't - 200MHz isn't a lot for a Flash game as my 600MHz laptop will attest. Most Flash games just won't work at a decent speed at all at that sort of CPU, even the ones that appear basic (for instance, I can play the "yeti games" but even the "pirates shooting cannons at each other" game just dies a death, as do things like "N" depending on the level you are on).gladel said:
So:
1) No source code provided, so it's not going to happen anyway
2) There is no source code you could provide that would do it as well as people would want
3) The source code that is available is designed for X, not SDL or any other easily-portable libraries.
4) Even if someone did magic up a Flash emulator from scratch, most Flash games are simply beyond the GP2X's capabilities.

X isn't easily portable? First I've heard of that.ledow said:

X is easily portable (for a certain MASSIVE definition of easy, it being such a complex bit of software) - but then you'll be running an entire X window system to run a flash game that will already be struggling. What I meant was "porting an app designed for X to something else isn't easy".Orkie said:

Developing for the GP2X since 2006
If it's just the X libraries it is easy - no harder than SDL. You just need to run the X server so the program will be displayed. If it's mouse controlled, you don't even have to change the controls.ledow said:
GP2Xpdf and 2XRally both do this.
