If not, do you think it will be possible anytime soon? And why isn't it possible right now? Thanks in advance. =)

Technically, it should be possible, though I've yet to see an actual emulator for doing so. The easiest way I guess would be to just emulate windows instead and run a flash game from there, but that's another story of its own.

Given that the flash player already runs a virtual machine for the actionscript, it is definitely possible. You just need a player that support savestates and other tools.

Because it is a lot of work to write a new virtual machine?

Well if people created emulators for something as complicated as NGC, I'd expect someone would have created something for Flash... sorry then

The thing is, nobody needs to write a new flash player, since there already is one that everybody can use. Except us. There is noone who cares about us, we are a minority. Everybody else is happy with the existing player. Aside from some "must be open source" freaks that is. They have been trying to write their own player. I can't say that they've had much success.
