Google is always your friend.  Bing works great too.  Google search found:  http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-play-flash-games-offline/ (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-play-flash-games-offline/)

Wow!  You are correct, that is the coolest thing ever!   I want it on my cab too.  I will have to download it too.  

Now to find a good way to remap the keys it uses.   If anyone comes up with a good way to do this, please let me know!

Edit:  Nevermind I see they give you a way to do this in the menu itself!!!

That was pretty cool. It would have been better if they did not allow for the other char actors to still kill enemies in Mario’s way by jumping on there head.    :dunno

once you download the flash file you can convert it to .exe using:
http://www.swf-to-exe.com/ (http://www.swf-to-exe.com/)

but if you turn the flash file into a .exe you do not need flash installed on your pc..  and can run it just fine.  no need for a web browser etc.


however, from reading the guys own webpage..  i do not see flash games being all that good for a cab.  the limitations he explains is flash is only supported by keyboard.  which aint no big deal since our CPs use keyboard input..  i was unable to get it to map to my usb Nintendo controller.. and my cab is still work a progress to try. 


also apparently flash in full screen by default ignores keystrokes?  he gives a work around for a mac..  iv not looked into it on the pc.

here is the guys webpage where he explains the limitation of flash as a game.

How did you remap the keys?

On the main menu of the game it says, New Game, Load Game, Set Buttons

Not sure how to get that to permanently stay changed though, if there's even a way.
