The Flash Player hack for PowerPC has once again been updated – this time to 16.1. Adobe offered the last Flash Player plugin for the PowerPC platform in late 2010, stopping at version 10.1. As of early 2011, subsequent releases required an Intel Mac, much to the annoyance of a lot of older Mac users. However, there is a way to hack Flash 11 onto your PPC Mac and view. That Adobe decided to end support of Flash on PPC Macs with Flash.

PowerPC Mac owners can now experience Flash 11.7 with the latest unofficial hack update.

Less than a week ago I informed you that the fantastic Adobe Flash hack that brought Flash 11.1 to PowerPC Macs had been updated to 11.5. Officially Flash releases stopped at 10.1 for the Power PC.

Well, as of 18th May 2013, the hack has been tweaked and updated to cover Flash version 11.7 – currently the latest version of Flash being offered officially by Adobe to Intel machines.

You can download the updated files here.

I would just like to thank the creator of these hacks (which isn’t me). He has helped so many PowerPC Mac owners keep their beloved computers as current as possible.*

However, with the recent news that future TenFourFox wont support plugins, how long these updates will keep coming and keep working is a question no one can answer. After all, these hacks merely trick your Flash Player and browser in to thinking it is a newer version, and while most sites work there will be a few – more and more with time – that genuinely need Flash 11 and all the new things it brings.

* NOTE: older versions of Flash may be vulnerable to attacks, that would have been patched in newer versions. Be aware of this. While this enabled Flash 11.7, it is essentially Flash 10.1 tricked.
