OT: Macromedia Flash Player 5 MIPS version - anyone?

[Menneisyys]

Hi guys,

I'm just writing an all-in-one roundup of all the available Flash players for the Pocket PC, along with a lot of never-before-published hacks and tons of real-world compatibility test reports.

However, I can't find the MIPS version of the free Macromedia Flash Player 5 (the last Flash Player version to support non-ARM Pocket PC's). It's no longer available anywhere, it seems (spent some 2 hours on searching) (now, version 7 is the current one; not even version 6 supported non-ARM CPU's any more). As it must have been really superior to the other, still available Flash player, Conduits' free Pocket Spark, it'd be really nice if I could find it so that I can report on its compliance with the tested Flash games.

Does anyone still have it around? I'd be REALLY grateful if somebody could point me to a download!

Most of my reviews on PocketPCFreeware.com were made using a Casio E-125, and then a Casio E-200. I used to download each and every available software for both machines to keep a local copy on our site when it's necessary.
And I don't remember any Flash 5 Player for my E-125, but I may be mistaken. I still have the MIPS Flash 4 Player though, and if I remember well, it was not a plugin for PIE but a stand-alone application.

I've also looked around on http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/ a day or so ago but only found version 7 - no version 4 (/5). I can't connect it now - it doesn't seem to be respoding (may be a connection problem with Toonel though).

Is version 4 online in there? If not, could I get it in some way please (e-mail, for example - mine is info AT winmobiletech.com)?

In the meantime, thanks to akheron at AximSite and dlangton at PPCT, I've been sent the stuff.

Thanks again!

Our site was down yesterday
In the french comments (sorry but our site is primary french and that the richest part by far...) of Flash Player there are links to Macromedia's site which still hosts these old versions:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...-Installer.exe
As our bandwidth is limited, we only include a file on our site when we are quite sure that it's completely unavailable on the web. Please tell us if you really find a Flash 5 version.

Thanks again - I'll credit you too in my forthcoming article

Also, keep up the good work with PPCFreewares :way to go:
