I can understand that you might be angry about it that we can't provide updates faster, but you need to keep in mind that we're offering dirplayer for free and working on it in your spare time. So please have some more patience. |

Really cool you wanted to contribute, I see and hear what you're putting out here. But I think a clearer approach is to instead outline the file types supported. For updating the README its probably something to discuss first than to make a PR for straight away - perhaps having a discussion in the discord is best first. |

| This cannot run Flash games. For those, you can use Ruffle. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is (or should be) no expectation that a Shockwave emulator would run Flash games. We are working on adding support for Flash content *embedded* in Shockwave movies using Ruffle, but playing top-level SWF files remains out of scope for this project, and as it is currently written, this line creates more questions than it answers. If you really feel like this should be highlighted, I agree with @markhughes's suggestion to outline supported file formats as it would be a much clearer way to indicate this.
