I seriously doubt this is in any way possible, but considering the joy the very thought of watching Bonus Stage or playing Nanaca Crash on the GP2X fills me with I thought I should ask.

Anyone particularly familiar with the open Flash project? I know it exists, I know it's active, but does it even have a halfway working release? The type of games played in flash are just what everyone wants on the GP2X, so this would be a real treat, assuming it's even possible.
 
Doesn't Macromedia have SDKs of the Flash player? I don't know if they have the source for it out though.

I agree. I would love to have a Flash emulator. Playing Alien Hominid would be really sweet.
 
The question is, how well would flash work? I often get graphic intense flash movies lagging this 2000mhz PC. I have a feeling it'll be a lot worse on a 200mhz cpu.

No reason for someone to not give it a try, though. :)
 
What about flash lite, what is that all about?

I would REALLY enjoy a flash player, there are so many great flash games already out.
 
Skitzo: That's because it's high resolution and you're running it on top of a hell of a lot of other stuff.

On the GP2X, simply downshift to low graphics settings and run it as a dedicated application. Really, generally speaking, most Flash games are very lightweight. Exceptions include that 3D, UT-like shooter. Flash is very versatile, but I believe it is sort of a modern BASIC - severely hampered and not great for anything beyond simple applications. At those simple applications it does quite nicely.
 
If there are any opensource flash players for mobile phones or pdas, they'd be by far the best solutions to port, since they'd already be optimised for handheld devices.
 
Meh, probably, though I don't think any phones have ARM processors, and that's where it gets you...
