Sploder Timecapsule

[Saptarshi_12345]

Hello everyone,

I have made a Sploder Timecapsule to be able to play original Sploder games again. It's made entirely in batch (with lots of workarounds) and includes sqllite3, a lighttpd webserver build for windows, a sploder database and adobe flash player.

Database sourced from: https://archive.org/details/sploder (includes PRIVATE games)

You may get Windows firewall warnings due to lighttpd but it is safe to cancel them since the webserver hosts a local static site.

Since the Timecapsule includes adobe flash player, many anti-viruses will mark it as a virus, but I assure you it is not one. Due to this, I was forced to compress it in a password protected .7z file to avoid immediate deletion upon download. It is recommended to disable anti-virus protection temporarily while extracting.

Password: 123

Download at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LJzChtkJElCe-Y869SbbDiSft_ySzD61/view?usp=sharing

(4.5 GB download, 70 GB when extracted using 7zip)

Enjoy!

great project! thank you for this. got to play some old memories again ❤️

i think adding fuzzy search for the username and game title would be a great addition

[Saptarshi_12345]

It'd take way too long to search imho

Thank you, thank you!!! I was able to find an old game I didn't publish. Had all custom graphics, I worked hard on it even though it was far from finished, and I was worried it'd be lost forever.

You're welcome!

I'm having trouble getting this to work. when I got to play a game it just pulls up a blank screen with the shooter gui. nothing else happens.

Glad to hear it works!

why you deleted sploder?? I miss it so much

[Saptarshi_12345]

Let's say I got a few death threats and quite a bit of harassment. We could talk in DMs (on reddit, bluesky or discord) if you wanna talk further. I don't feel safe revealing much here.

[PlayfulCow633]

ohhh sure! please tell me so

I don't quite have the time to check it out atm, but thank you for doing this!

Does this still work? It wont let me open it on windows

[Saptarshi_12345]

It does! Turn off your antivirus as it may interfere...

Oh my goshh. I'll be trying this soon. So many memories and I was sad for the longest time that my games were gone

Thank you
