'''Flash''' (previously FutureSplash Animator, before that SmartSketch) is a software platform created by FutureWave Software, and currently owned by Adobe (previously Macromedia). Originally a drawing program for PenPoint OS, later ported to Windows and Macintosh when pen computing failed to take off, frame-by-frame animation features were added to it in a new program called FutureSplash Animator. The company was acquired by Macromedia in December 1996, rebranding FutureSplash Animator to Flash, an amalgamation of "Future" and "Splash". In turn, Macromedia was acquired by Adobe on December 3, 2005. Their operations, networks, and customer care organizations were merged shortly after.
The '''Amiga''' is a series Used by an overwhelming majority of computers released by [[wikipedia:Commodore_International|Commodore]]websites in the early 2000s to the mid-2010s, starting in 1985. It was a very powerful Flash has been the go-to platform for multimedia and capable machine animation, being utilised for its timestreaming video providers such as YouTube, featuring a [[wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] and custom chips dedicated children's websites due to IOits rich content, sound, graphics and morehas spawned a subculture of animators as exemplified by the likes of Newgrounds. This family A number of computers became quite popularanimated series were also animated using Flash, especially in Europe, spawning a huge library of games over time. Due to its superior graphics capabilities compared to its contemporaries, it was widely used in the desktop video, video productionmost notably ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'', ''Phineas and show control business, leading to video editing systems such as the Video Toaster, Ferb'' and was even used by skate companies ''Happy Tree Friends'' to edit their videosname a few.
The later Amigas failed Flash's popularity declined in the late 2010s due to advance vastly on the old models rise of alternative (and the family lost its gain to newer video game consoles open) web standards such as HTML5 and other PC architectures. Eventually, Commodore became bankrupt and production of Amiga hardware and games were on mobile device manufacturers dropping support for the decline since. Despite thisplatform, there are still a handful of loyal Amiga users today and software continues to be developed prominent example being Apple who publicly stated that iOS will ''never'' support Flash. Google followed suit when it dropped support for the classic machinesplatform in subsequent Android releases, as well as and it didn't help that a newer line series of [[wikipedia:PowerPC|PowerPC]]-based Amigas released security issues, coupled with Flash itself being a closed standard, has led Adobe to wind down on Flash and retire it in the 2000s and beyond2020.
The Amiga was a tremendously complex machine, with multiple revisions to both its hardware and its system software. This can make emulation quite tricky, as figuring out the requirements for any specific game can be fairly difficult.  A commercial package exists, "Amiga Forever", from Cloanto, which elides past many of the complexities of Amiga emulation. It includes fully licensed ROMs, system disks, and (for applicable machines) hard drive OS images for every model that Commodore shipped. The package itself is basically a very sophisticated frontend for WinUAE and WinFellow but comes with pre-configured setups for many games. If you have sufficient expertise, you can manually do everything it's doing, but it's pretty convenient even for experts. It's also the easiest way to get legal copies of the original system ROMs. ==EmulatorsImplementations==
