ShockWave

Postby williams_bjw » Sun Sep 21, 2008 20:06

I was just wondering, every time I try to play certain games on MiniClip.com it says I need Shockwave although Shockwave says my system isn't supported. I was wondering if there was a way around that? Thanks.

If you use Google you'll see that Shockwave isn't supported under Linux. The only way would be under Windows emulation. Again, Google will throw up some pages on how to attempt this, although I've not done it myself.

I saw on a google search I did that you can. But the way they said was to download a copy of Windows firefox!! and install with Wine and then install shockwave through the Windows version of firefox which is maddness!!! Thanks
