It's unclear whether these two links reference the same plugin or two different plugins with Tulip in the name.
* Exstream: 3D does not play unless the proper codec is available for the (usually? always?) .asf file. The codec in use appears to be 0x75 VoxWare Metasound. The downloads available for this codec do not appear to work directly. ffmpeg can process it but it sounds terrible. MPlayer, when given its binary codecs and the -ac voxware option, sounds excellent. However, the binary requires a file to be present in SysWOW64. We may need to reencode the .asf files via MPlayer (and then ffmpeg if MPlayer cannot output an .asf file).

This is a list of web game technologies that we hope to support in the future. If you'd like to help us add one of these technologies to Flashpoint, please join the #other-plugins channel in our Discord.

For plugins which have been successfully added to Flashpoint, see Technologies to Add/Added Technologies.

Please add new technologies in alphanumeric order.

Here are some places to find more technologies to add to Flashpoint:

*Because this website does not support TLS 1.2, it cannot be opened in modern browsers. It can still be opened in browsers such as Pale Moon.

This page lists two kinds of plugins: platforms, as well as other technologies such as alternate VRML viewers and compatibility assistants such as Pipelight.

Unsorted

Technologies to be researched and then given dedicated sections.
