This is possible but slow and I used a very old version of QEMU. IIRC, the OpenSUSE \
wiki mentions how to do that with a more recent version of QEMU.

However, if you run on i386, you don't need QEMU, simply use nspluginwrapper as is. I \
use FreeBSD 6.1 and tested FlashPlayer 9 lately, it works. Though not in a browser \
yet but with a standalone plugins viewer I wrote for testing and another project. I \
don't mean it won't work in a browser, I only mean I haven't got time to fully test \
with Firefox on *BSD yet.

You can get trunk, which represents the upcoming nspluginwrapper 1.2.0, through:
$ svn co http://svn.beauchesne.info/svn/gwenole/projects/nspluginwrapper/trunk \
nspluginwrapper

nspluginwrapper 1.0.0 (targetted to be released this weekend) is available in a \
separate branch: $ svn co \
http://svn.beauchesne.info/svn/gwenole/projects/nspluginwrapper/branches/nspluginwrapper-1.0-branch


I have not written docs for the standalone player yet (npplayer) but its usage is \
rather simple: npplayer src=uri/to/flash/content.swf

npplayer can be useful to you so that to test whether your problems are related to \
your Linux emulator or the browser, or even nspluginwrapper.

BTW, I would appreciate if people could test nspluginwrapper 1.0 on recent FreeBSD \
versions before I release it since I only have FreeBSD 6.1 and FreeBSD 5.3 at home. \
Thanks.

Regards,
Gwenole Beauchesne.
