From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

best supported emulator for sega consoles on ubuntu 23.10 (linux.community)

I use kega fusion on my ubuntu 23.10 to emulate sega's master system, game gear, genesis and cd. I don't need to emulate anything else. The problem with fusion is, it stopped being supported in 2009 and while the latest version is stable, there is no sound. Because it's not supported, I don't know where to ask for help.

if I execute 'kega-fusion' on the terminal I get:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so (/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I have this same sound issue with mednaffe. With mednaffe, however, controls don't even work.

Don't suggest retroarch: it seems to be a full suite that's too much for me and I enjoy fusion's minimalist approach.

Don't suggest MAME either, it's also a suite but the mouse reacts oddly and graphics look silly.

I'd also settle for a solution that gives me sound back with fusion.

You don't need an sdk to set up flathub.

I don't use Ubuntu but reviewing the commands on the flatpak website they seem pretty straightforward.

https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu

From there you should be able to install Kega from the Kega listing by clicking the install button.
