I got Scratch 2.0 v44 to work!

Tenuuni

So, I was on the journey for some juicy hidden blocks, and I was looking for the oldest one. v44. I downloaded the SWF and tried opening it in the standalone player. It only showed the player, not the editor. That was bad. So, using my ActionScript knowledge, I decompiled the SWF and I spent a lot of time finding the editor setting. I tried

document.body.children[0].ASsetEditMode(true)

but the browser threw a dreaded error.

Uncaught TypeError: document.body.children[0].ASsetEditMode is not a function

I was devastated. Luckily, due to this random guy on Github I got it working.
TL;DR all I had to do is change

return isOffline || isExtensionDevMode;

to

return true;

and made it work. For those who want it, download it here.

Tested it on both my Linux machine and my Chromebook, it works.

I kept trying to click the “i” because I kept thinking it would show the sprite info LOL

It just shows the number of scripts in everything, while if you click the “cat” profile picture, it shows this:

And yeah, it works.

It doesn't work! Using my SWF player, it just is the stage and that's it.

One of the few times I'm grateful for this actually.

Maybe try using a browser with Flash support. It happens sometimes.

Yeah, this has v44 and a lot of other versions. A lot of them look identical to each other:

You should put that on archive.org or something (not the Wayback Machine).

looks familiar. I remember being able to try Scratch 2.0 before it was released (you weren't really supposed to, but people shared how to on the forums…) by simply running that after following a link to the SWF (which was in /static or somewhere on the Scratch website). Probably after the alpha on Scratch Day 2012 (https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Development_of_Scratch_2.0) but before the public beta?

It's getting impossible to trace the lineage of all these re-shared old Scratch versions. But I know there are a lot on the ScratchR SVN tree, so maybe that's were some came from. (Judging by the pictures on the wiki, this version is from before Sept. 2012?)

I think it's from May 2012 or earlier because it calls the More Blocks category “My Blocks”, and the wiki revision for the My Blocks page says it was moved for a name change in that month.

The Data category in v44 is called Variables, like in 1.x and 3.0.

the flash player: why do they forget about me?

Here's a list of all the blocks in this prototype that aren't present in the final version of 2.0:
Say block with the dropdown menu

The motor blocks from 1.4

The start scene block

The forever if block from 1.4

The separate stop script and stop all blocks from 1.4

The stamp transparent block

The loud block from 1.4

And that's all i could find.

Stamp transparent was removed because the functionality was moved to the ghost effect.
Scenes were replaced with backdrops and the when backdrop switches to block.
Also, if you want to try more prototypes, see:
https://github.com/medlans/2.0-Archives (find the “.swf” files)

And yes, it indeed does nothing.

Yep!
It was only present in v349 or Map Scratch.

Now if only we could find a prototype with the scratch days block intact.
