Flashpoint's Mac support is heavily experimental. This page provides information about the current Flashpoint for Mac package.

Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below. Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac. Java 7 and later versions are not supported by these older versions of Mac OS X. If you have problems with Java 6, contact Apple Technical Support.
The time of the question: April 2020 Computer Hardware: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015), i5, 8GB, SSD Operating system: MacOS Catalina 10.5.4 Phone: iPhone 7 (or this part we can update e.g. IPhone Pro 11, if needed) Operation system: 13.3.1 Microphone and headset: Airpods Pro.

If you depend on legacy plug-ins for your work, we recommend installing macOS Catalina on a separate drive or partition. V5.3.2 and above are officially compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina. Stagetools Moving Picture. Mac OS Catalina is currently not supported, Future support is not planned at this time. Has anyone fathomed how to view Hikvision on a Mac with OS updated to the latest Catalina? I have tried iVMS4200 - crashes every thime Sea Monkey - Live view not working Never managed to get safari or Firefox - even with plugins - but they're totally out of the running now. Any genius that has cracked the Hikvision/Mac mystery please help!!!!!

Latest Package

Download Beta 2019-12-15:

Changelog:

2019-12-15: Added 'wmode':'direct' to the default SWFObject parameters. This fixes certain 3D Flash games which previously did not work properly.

2019-12-14: First beta available!

Installation Instructions

Download and unzip the latest package using the link above.
Double-click StartFlashpoint.command to open Flashpoint.
- Do not forget this step! You must use StartFlashpoint.command, otherwise Flashpoint will not work properly.

Troubleshooting

If Flashpoint does not work after installation, follow the steps below:

Click the Apple menu and open System Preferences.
Click 'Security & Privacy,' then click the 'Privacy' tab.
Click 'Full Disk Access'.
Click the lock icon and enter your password to make changes. Then click the + button under the list of apps to add Terminal to the list.
Click the lock icon again to save your changes. You should see Terminal in the list of allowed apps, as shown below.

Flash EOL Screen

If you see the Flash Player EOL information screen when you try to play a game, that means that SeaMonkey is loading your installed Flash Player plugin instead of the plugin that is bundled with Flashpoint. To fix the problem, uninstall Flash Player from your Mac and restart Flashpoint. Games should work again in SeaMonkey.

MacOS Catalina and Big Sur

Because Flashpoint's applications are from an 'unidentified developer,' if you're using Catalina or Big Sur, you'll need to approve each application before it can run. Open your system preferences, click 'Security & Privacy', then allow each of the following applications to run: StartFlashpoint.command, Flashpoint Launcher, swfbbox, and SeaMonkey.

Because Adobe Director Projectors are 32-bit applications, SPR for Mac will not work on MacOS Catalina or Big Sur. This means that Flashpoint for Mac does not support Shockwave games on Catalina or Big Sur.

Hikvision Web Plugin For Mac Os Catalina Installer

MacOS Big Sur (MacOS 11.0)

Flash applications have been successfully tested and are working. To use Flashpoint with Big Sur, a few modifications are required. Follow the steps below:

Download SeaMonkey 2.53.4 for MacOS x64 from here: https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Open Flashpoint Infinity's FPSoftware folder, then find the old 'SeaMonkey.app' there.
Right-click the old SeaMonkey.app and click 'Show Package Contents.'
Open the Contents folder, then within that folder, open the Resources folder.
Find the folder called plugins and copy it.
Find the new 'SeaMonkey.app' file that you downloaded by searching in Finder under 'This Mac'.
Right-click the new 'SeaMonkey.app' and click 'Show Package Contents.'
Open the Contents folder, then within that folder, open the Resources folder.
Paste in the plugins folder that you copied earlier.
Go back outside of the new 'SeaMonkey.app' package and copy it.
Open Flashpoint Infinity's FPSoftware folder, then paste the 'SeaMonkey.app' file that you just copied. Replace the original file when prompted.

Apple Silicon Macs

Hikvision Web Plugin For Mac Os Catalina Dmg

To run Flashpoint on Macs with the new M1 chip, you'll need to install Rosetta by following these instructions. Once you've done that, follow the instructions in the previous sections to get Flashpoint working.

Installing Java

To add support for Java games, you'll need to install the Java Development Kit. Follow the steps below:

Download JDK version 8u212 from here: https://github.com/frekele/oracle-java/releases/download/8u212-b10/jdk-8u212-macosx-x64.dmg
Open the DMG file and run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the JDK.

Installing Wine

Running games in Wine is not yet supported, but we hope to add support for this in a future build. If you'd like to contribute to our efforts, you can download an installer here.

Technologies

Currently, only Flashpoint Infinity is available for Mac. However, as explained here, both PHP and Apache are included with MacOS. This means it should be fairly simple to create a Flashpoint Ultimate package for MacOS as well. Let us know in our Discord if you can help!

No equivalent to the Flashpoint Redirector currently exists for MacOS. MacOS also does not provide any native way to set per-application proxy settings. In Flashpoint for Mac, the proxy settings for each supported technology must be set separately. This rules out using the Flash projectors, since they do not have configurable proxy settings. In Flashpoint for Mac, all Flash games run in a browser.

The Flashpoint FAQ contains a list of all web game technologies ('Platforms') supported in the Windows version of Flashpoint. The Mac version currently supports a small subset of these platforms. This is explained in detail below. The list of supported platforms includes an unscientific estimate of the percentage of games supported by our method.

Supported Platforms

Flash: Supported using the SeaMonkey web browser, with a Flash plugin included. Games that use a Flash Player version other than 32 are not yet supported.
- ~95% of games supported.
Shockwave: Supported with SPR for Mac. Because LeechProtectionRemovalHelp is only available for Windows, the majority of Shockwave games will not work properly.
- ~30% of games supported.
- Requires a 32-bit compatible OS; Catalina is not supported.
HTML5: Supported using the SeaMonkey web browser. WebAssembly support is enabled in Flashpoint's SeaMonkey profile, so it should be compatible with nearly all of the same games as Basilisk.
- ~99% of games supported.
Java Applets: Supported natively using the JDK. Java in the browser is not supported yet.
- ~99% of games supported.

Unsupported Platforms

Unity Web Player: Has not been attempted yet. We would need to track down the Mac builds of all 12 versions of Unity Web Player that we support on Windows. Needless to say, this would be a huge challenge.
PopCap Plugin: As far as we know, there is no version of PopCap Plugin for modern Macs.
Authorware Web Player
