The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

A few years back, someone posted a SWF file, which simulated the sentry gun programs.

However, it seems that flash programs are no longer supported on most systems, so can't get it to run.

I know someone created a program to run on an Amiga, which would run on a laptop with an emulator program, but I need one that will run on a Raspberry Pi, which is (obviously) Linux based.

Anyone know of any other simulator programs that would work on my Pi? I did a quick search round the forums, but the only programs I found were the above 2.

I think Mike Rush created a Flash file. He hasn't been active on here for a couple of years at least though.

you might be able to emulate amiga on PI.

other than that someone would have to write something specifically. I could do it if I had time but i'm struggling for that at the mo.

cheers

It is on the forums somewhere. I will have to find it, again. And this time can we sticky the bloody post so it is easier to find or something?

Yeah, I have that. That's the program with the .swf extension I downloaded fom here.

As I said though, it won't run as Flash is no longer supported on modern systems. :cry:

Pretty much all of them, as far as I'm aware. It seems Adobe no longer do the players, and newer browsers no longer support plug ins.

I think you can still download older players, but support for these is apparently being discontinued either at th end of of this year (2019) or next.

support is gone, yes. It still will work as, too many business systems and websites rely upon the medium. Migrating away from it will take years. I ran into dependency issues on raspbian. IT works on windows 10.
