For the past couple of months, I uploaded dozens of Flash games to this website. Four of my first uploads have been properly emulated with several more relegated to the Flash Emulation Repair Shop.

For some reason, the ones I posted in mid-December 2020 and after are still in the Community Software section even though I tagged them as Flash games.

The following games are in archive limbo for more than a week. Should I request to move these games to the Flash-related archive?

Hi, they are not being set to be emulated, so they are not being added. Over time, I have to do large sweeps to find them.

If you set:

emulator to 'ruffle-swf'
and
emulator_ext to 'swf'

They'll go into the contributions collection to be checked, and then put into the flash library.

I noticed that even with the emulation metadata added, some of the flash games I uploaded are still in the Community Audio section, which only occurs when I uploaded the Flash games back in January.

The following items are stuck.

Thank you!

I added them as meta data and Ruffle is indeed being applied, though the games are not in the playable sate so they need to be moved to the Flash Emulation Repair Shop.

What emulator should I use for DOS, Windows, and Apple II games?

Where should I enter them? Should I add them as metadata?

I am relatively new here.

Hi Jason Scott, I have a question about one of your collections, can I message you on Discord/Twitter/Reddit/email?
