Flash 9 not working on NT 4.0? (consolidated thread)

Besides,it should be noted that my Windows language is english,not polish,And this might be why it didn't work on his...

It cannot be that the language version of the operating system affects the operation of the program - that would be stupid.

I checked the Flash 9 289 (patched) plugin and it works in the same OS but on real Haswell hardware:

The problem is probably the Ivy Bridge processor. I cannot also install Mac OS X in VMware on a host PC with an Ivy Bridge processor.

That's more likely,my Intel processor didn't cause any problems with the NT 4.0 VM...

Speaking about it Club Penguin Atake worked on my vm and i've tested the Naruto (Japan) website and apparently the mini AD built on Flash actually worked...

 

I tested it again and it somehow works. Don't tell Boo about it,he hates flash on NT 4.0

I've just  come to conclusion that 8.5.1 is the last for 95/NT 4.0 and Shockwave 10 (9 is just 8.5.1) isn't compatible with NT 4.0

I've tested Brincando com Arie and Adventure Quest and both worked...

 

I wonder if it's because they're AVM1 or don't use features required in Flash 10 or later?

 

Adventure Quest tells me i'm running 9.0.289.0,that it requires 8.0 and up,and its game engine version is 46.52,but...

 

Most games made by Artix that relies on Flash works fine and some just either get infinite loop or just explicitly say it's not supported under 9.0.289.0...

I've upgraded to Windows 2000 SP4,so this will for now,i'll not touch it...

I'll touch this again and I'll say i got a new VM for NT 4.0,so i will be testing some new games...

I'm testing  YT2009 with my patched Flash 9.0.289.0 and it works...but had to enable flash player since it lacked HTML5 video of some sort...
