Install Firefox ESR 52 (or one of various Palemoon offsprings still supporting Netscape plugins) and Flash Plugin 32.0.0.371. That's it, you have a dedicated browser with Flash working the exact same way it worked. As long as that software remains compatible with newer operating systems, you don't even need to start a virtual machine. Of course, flash content that requires data from external servers won't work without them (can sometimes be fixed with a proxy server and manual fiddling), and some old Flash versions can be partially incompatible with final plugin, but that's a deeper dive into that technology.
