From Flashpoint Database

The Internet Annal tin play SWFs through Ruffle, and Jason Scott has asked for help in uploading SWFs to the Archive for Ruffle to play. Below is a precise fix of instructions for doing then.

Testing the SWF

Download your SWF via any means necessary. (We've been given permission to grab SWFs from Flashpoint.)
Head to https://ruffle.rs/demo.
Use the Choose File option at the top of the screen, and pick your SWF.
Requite the file a moment, so click the big Play button in the middle of the screen.
Play the game, and look for any major bugs, in gameplay, graphics, or sound.
- If the operation is depression, drag the edges of your browser window to make them smaller; having less to brandish increases Ruffle's performance, and is closer to how the game will human activity on the Annal.
- If anything is majorly broken or you lot are unable to get to gameplay, discard and move onto another SWF.
- If the game works to a reasonable standard and only has modest presentational glitches at nearly, you tin can motility to the side by side section.
If you move on to a second SWF, refresh the folio. Ruffle has trouble running two SWFs ane subsequently another.

Preparing

Make sure your SWF has no spaces in the filename. The archive doesn't like files with spaces.
Get a screenshot of the game in question. You're immune to utilise Flashpoint screenshots, even if Ruffle presentation isn't i:ane yet.
You lot volition need to proper noun your screenshot very specifically to friction match the proper name of your to-come Annal.org item.
- The screenshot needs to have the same proper name as Page URL, with "_screenshot" appended to the cease of it.
- Yous have to name the file this ahead of time, and then change the Page URL to match, or "select files to add" the screenshot later on.
- Meet the flick on the right for an instance of how to practise it correctly. Annotation the Page URL on the left, and the name of the .png file on the correct.

Uploading

How the item should look when it'due south ready to be uploaded.

Make a new Archive.org business relationship, if y'all oasis't already.
Click Upload in the top right corner of the homepage, then click Upload Files.
Click "Choose files to upload" then cull your SWF and your screenshot (if you prepared i alee of time with a name in mind).
Alter the Folio Title to the proper noun of the game.
Alter the Page URL to something plumbing fixtures the game, without going overboard.
- I employ the game name with no spaces, followed by "_flash", in guild to have some kind of design.
- If yous did not rename and upload the screenshot alee of time, rename your screenshot now in the same vein (page URL followed by "_screenshot"), and then employ the "Select files to add together" button.
Write a description for the game.
- At well-nigh, it should be 2 paragraphs.
- The showtime should be a description most how the game is played.
- The 2d should exist the game'due south accomplishments, where it ended up ported to, and what the creator went on to do.

Fill in the Creator and Appointment. Both tin can be skipped if unavailable.
Alter the Drove to "Customs software".
Add two boosted metadata options via the Add additional metadata blue link.
- The beginning should be emulator on the left field and ruffle-swf in the right field.
- The second should be emulator_ext on the left and swf on the right.
Click "Upload and create your detail". The files will be uploaded, the item will be made, and you'll be carried through to the page once it'southward washed.

Testing the Archive.org particular

How the particular should look, equally an example.

If you've done everything right, your particular should announced something similar the image to the right.
- If the screenshot in the middle of the folio says "Emulate it!" with a floppy disk, you've named your screenshot wrong.
  - Yous can click Edit, then "change the files" (correct square) then correct click the proper noun of your file, rename it there, then relieve.
- If "Emulator" and/or "Emulator_ext" do not appear, you will need to become change that. (This may not be your fault; the Archive.org uploader has a tendency to miss i or the other)
  - Click "Edit" on the particular'southward page, click "Change the information" (left square), then scroll down to simply above "Files, formats, and derivations". Click "add together another field", then add whichever is missing, in the aforementioned way as outlined above. And then click "Salve" at the bottom of the page.
Click the Power push in the eye of the screen. The game should kicking and play.
- The Archive may take several minutes to scan your SWF before information technology will permit y'all play the game; if you're sure you've done everything right, come back in 15 minutes. If at that place's a bluish box above your clarification, chances are the game won't work until it's gone away.
If your game boots, congrats, you're done, motion onto the next.
- If the game has some issues that weren't present in the Ruffle spider web demo, don't panic. Ruffle on the Archive may be behind Ruffle on the spider web. It volition piece of work with time.
