I used to have at least 15-20 of those little games. I think my mom threw them all out after we moved. I would love to know if an emulator exists for these as well.

They have at least one Tiger game, Tiger Baseball, but that's from before my time. That site is crazy though, they have Tomagatchi and Speak and Spell (like from E.T.) simulators.

Thanks for the link. I am sad I can't seem to find the games I remember from my childhood. Maybe I'll just have to track down some of them in real life.

I remember wanting to start my own neighborhood arcade with some of those games, a little pinball machine and my sega genesis

Yeah that site is great, but you need to play them online and in the browser so really not very interesting in a HS point of view.

but you can use them with that flash player program rain made

No, it won't work. All the swf files are protected and can't be played offline unless someone can hack them.

This site has hand held electronic game emulators. Some are Tiger, I believe.

You can download the games from Pica-Pic just fine, and play them locally as well. However, the problem is that they are all super HD (I guess that is the correct term: 3020 x 1840) and set to stage UL. This becomes a problem as the most you can see are the huge buttons of the game; in order to work properly you would have to decompile each game set the stage to CENTER and recompile, then you could adjust the flashvars to 2 so that it scales to your monitor. Simple enough to do, just tedious.

Are you sure about this Rain? I know nothing about Flash, but a friend of mine who already hacked a bunch of flash games for me looked into these a year ago or so and he told me the games were protected and couldn't be run offline and he wasn't able to hack them.

Unless something changed since then.

Heck I can't even figure how to download the correct swf files now, I can only download an index.swf file. Would be nice to at least be able to get the Game & Watch games playable.

Interesting, I'll check with my buddy to see if he can have a look at this and see if things are any different from back then, thanks.

Btw what did you use to download the swf?

its no good rain you cant see the whole screen of them only half nice attempt tho

There is no error on Rain's end, the rips are perfect. He explained the problem literally 6 posts ago. The resolution is too high, you have to decompile the source, adjust the positioning and scale, then recompile.

What if somebody, I can't imagine who, made an ActiveX emulator? I guess it wouldn't really be an emulator, but in spirit it would be. Said app would maybe have an ini to store urls of flash games and could be launched with HL by maybe sending the URL as the romPath. I don't know that was just off the top of my head, I'm sure it could be better than what I dreamed up, but you get the idea. Now if only we knew someone who could whip a simple app like that out in a night.
