SAS4 without downgrading: Safer fix (No admin privileges needed for some browsers)

How to play SAS4 web without downgrading flash
__________________________________________________ __________

PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH:

A COMMON MISTAKE IS PUTTING THE MMS.CFG FILE DIRECTLY INTO THE SHOCKWAVE FLASH FOLDER FOR APPLYING THE FIX TO CHROMIUM BROWSERS: DETAILS BELOW ON WHERE IT SHOULD BE PLACED THAT PEOPLE OFTEN SKIP.

OTHERWISE, FEEL FREE TO ASK WHY THE FIX ISN'T WORKING IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW.
__________________________________________________ __________


1. Download the mms.cfg file from Topper's website by clicking this button. (Note you will need to open the ZIP file to access the mms.cfg file). Should you wish not to replace an already existing mms.cfg file but rather edit it, copying and pasting:

Spoiler:

EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain=*.nkstatic. com
EnableInsecureByteArrayShareableDomain=*.ninjakiwi .com
InsecureJitterDisabledDomain=*.nkstatic.com
InsecureJitterDisabledDomain=*.ninjakiwi.com

into the mms.cfg file will allow SAS4 to run.

2. Locate where the mms.cfg file needs to be placed:

For non-chromium based browsers, the mms.cfg file is located in the system files which is located in:

Windows 64 (Most windows systems):

Spoiler:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

Windows 32:

Spoiler:

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Mac:

Spoiler:

Library/Application Support

Linux:

Spoiler:

/etc/adobe/

The mms.cfg file in the system files affects all non-chromium browsers on all accounts for that computer, so you will need administrator access to be able to modify non chromium browsers so that they can run the flash version of SAS4. If you are editing the system mms.cfg file you can ignore step 3. However chromium based browsers such as chrome or opera each have mms.cfg files unique to the browser and user account so you can run the flash version of SAS4 without administrator rights.

For chrome the location of the mms.cfg file is in a folder named System which is within the folder Shockwave Flash, however often the folder (and the mms.cfg file) does not exist and must be created (hence all the directories given below are to the folder Shockwave Flashrather than System). The directory of the Shockwave Flash folder is as follows (Note you will need to replace <ACCOUNT NAME> with the name of your computer account exactly):

For Chrome the location of the mms.cfg file is:

Windows:

Spoiler:

C:\Users\<ACCOUNT NAME>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash

Mac:

Spoiler:

/Users/<ACCOUNT NAME>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash

Linux:

Spoiler:

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash

For Opera the location of the mms.cfg file is:

Windows:

Spoiler:

C:\Users\<ACCOUNT NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash

Mac:

Spoiler:

users/<ACCOUNT NAME>/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash

Linux:

Spoiler:

~/.config/opera/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash

Should you wish to play SAS4 on a different chromium browser not mentioned here, searching for the folder Shockwave Flash in the directory search bar and finding the directory which contains the browser name should lead you to the desired folder as in step 2. This is also useful if the directory mentioned above isn't applicable to you and is modified somehow.

Although uncommon, if you have always disabled cookies on your browser, the Pepper Data folder won't exist. As a result you may have to create all the folders manually, or in further time I'll create a modified ZIP file with all the correct folders which can be pasted directly where it is missing.

3. Once you have found the directory that the mms.cfg needs to be placed, simply move the mms.cfg file from your download folder to that directory. Restart your browser that you have done this process for if you kept it open during the editing and SAS4 will load on that browser

If you have any questions, queries or difficulties post below and I'll do my best to help you!

Thanks Luminos - this looks like a great solution for players with a little technical knowledge.

[douglas0828]

It didn't work I actually didn't see a mms.cfg in any browser folders. Can the Devs please just fix it or give us SaS 5? The steam version is crap.

The mms.cfg file doesn't exist for most chromium browsers as the flash player is on default settings. The mms.cfg file was provided as a link from topper's website:

https://topper64.co.uk/nk/mms.zip

The file should just download straight away, note that the actual mms.cfg file is inside the ZIP file and not the zip file so you'll have to take it out of the zip file

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

[Mrwaffleman]

I put the mms.cgf file inside of the shockwave flash folder but it still doesnt work? I made sure I followed the instructions and put the file into the right place but sas4 doesnt load

[Luminos]

mms.cfg file is supposed to go into a folder named:

System

That you have to create if it doesn't exist. This "System" folder is inside the Shockwave Flash folder. The mms.cfg file isn't directly inside the Shockwave flash folder but in that folder named System which is than inside the Shockwave Flash folder.

That should resolve the problem you have, contact if you have anymore problems and let me know if that works .

P.S. I'll be making a video when I have time, it's easy to miss the little detail that's in that paragraph about the location of the mms.cfg file (as well as other things people are getting confused about), thank you for speaking it's actually helpful because it means other people won't have to run into the same problem.

This method works! )

[KillaZombieForMommy]

Luminos Can you help me find this location in Linux? ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash.

[Luminos]

Sure,it may well be that a few of the folders are actually missing in your computer.
Try just starting off with:

~/.config/google-chrome/

then carry on finding the folders until you find which one doesn't exist. If the folder doesn't exist, creating new folders with the same names (in the correct places) will work.

Do you have discord? It's fine if you don't but if you do relaying info is much faster.

[KillaZombieForMommy]

Ok so I'm figuring ~ means root or either ~/ means root. I open Dolphin (file manager) click the root folder but there's also another folder inside of the main root folder called root. I'm also using Chromium (via software center) instead of Google Chrome and installed the pepper flash for it via the terminal from a website that showed how to do it.

Sorry I'm trying to transition over from Windows 7 to Linux since 7's about to go out of support, doing things in Linux is a lot different.

[Luminos]

That' no problem at all, Like you I'm only really familiar with windows so it's understandable you're taking things slow.
If you're just doing the chromium fix, worst thing that can happens is that the fix doesn't work

[KillaZombieForMommy]

And Luminos thank you for your efforts in helping the NK community that still want to play SAS4 be able to do it. Thanks your help is appreciated!

[Luminos]

Np. Hope it worked for you!

[Awwdidikillu]

chromium method worked great.

[BrooklynMan]

Thankyou for this and thanks to Vodanop for showing this to me. I editted the file in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" and now I can play the game on the browser I use for this game that no one has ever heard of.

[CyborgChris]

I placed the file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and, while it has gotten past the flash screen, it is stuck on infinite loading screen that never goes past around 80% of it. Could it be because of the new update in flash? Sorry I am new so I cannot post an attachment just yet.

[ZX840]

Yup, it's cuz of flash. Downloading Maxthon5 will resolve any issues you have with it, or play on the Steam Archive (NK accounts only).

[CyborgChris]

I tried Maxthon5 but the same issue comes up, infinite loading screen. Any other remedy to that?

[ZX840]

It's suppose to just work automatically as soon as you download it. Do you have flash installed to you computer? That might be futzing with it, if so uninstall any flash you installed yourself from your device and try again.
