DirPlayer is a Shockwave Player emulator written in Rust that aims to make playing old browser games possible on modern browsers.

Check out a live demo of this project at http:https://dirplayer-rs.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/

The extension implements a polyfill that replaces all <embed> elements that point to a Shockwave file in websites you visit.

npm install

cd vm-rust
wasm-pack build --target web

npm run build-extension

Make sure to build the VM first. The bundled extension will be located in ./dist-extension.

You can install the local build by going to chrome:https://extensions, enabling Developer Mode, then clicking the Load unpacked button.

Note that the extension is currently only available on Chrome.

npm run start

This project would have not been possible without the extensive work of the Shockwave reverse engineering community.
