Hi,

I did my setup and found out Shockwave is end of life and not supported in the latests browsers. I was wondering; wat is the best method to actually play on it?

Thanks!

Shockwave is supported on a Windows platform using browsers that support NP-API. Pale Moon is recommended, as it's an Firefox fork which guarantees NP-API compatibility far into the future. One of the only projects in that scope that's still being maintained.

32-bit installation of Pale Moon is required to mitigate Shockwave compatibility issues.

Thanks! Is there any NP-API supported browser for Mac?

You could try running Pale Moon via Wine. Should be installable via brew. Make sure to tell Wine you want to emulate an 32-bit environment via the environment setting WINEARCH=win32.
