I don't get this Google fetish people seem to have. Google is a closed-source company which spies on everyone in order...

Well, people claim it's way more accurate and emulates more games. It's tons more resource-intensive for sure. I honestly didn't notice much difference in games, but I didn't make a side-by-side...

For anyone else interested in BSNES and struggling to understand the bsnes-purify instructions, you gotta do this:

1- Create a directory called bsnes in your home folder;
2- Create inside the...

That's the weirdest thing, it doesn't give any error messages.

Since the command-line works, I'm guessing it should be some incompatibility with GTK 3.8. Is Cinnamon 2.0 based on GTK 3.10? (Wait,...

You could also install bsnes, but you'll need to use bsnes-purify on your roms so that it recognizes them. I don't like this one very much though, and it's very computer-demanding. If you do,...

I have the same problem. First I tried running the raring version from the Bearoso PPA, then I tried compiling the GTK3 version, then the GTK2 version, and then the command-line version. The only one...

There used to be this, but it looks abandoned now: https://www.privacy-cd.org/en
Now would be a good time for a new Ubuntu privacy spin.

By the way: https for Ubuntu Forums, anyone?

I got a weird bug here. I have checked the mentioned option in CCSM so Torchlight starts in fullscreen correctly, but when I click fullscreen on its options, the game goes to windowed mode....

It worked here too. Thanks! =)

(But this is such an easy fix... I wonder why they didn't patch it already.)

Hey, try this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/customize-gtk3-gtk2-theme-colors-using.html

It's not ready yet, you have to wait at least until next year.

My laptop has a 16:9 screen running with a resolution of 1366x768, but in Unity's System Settings > Monitors > Resolution I still have the option of running it as a 4:3 screen with a resolution of...

Oops, I guess it really is MAME, not SDLMAME: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame

1- It's SDLMAME AFAIK. I don't know about the two projects merging.
2- MAME has a built-in option for that, keepaspect, which will keep the 4:3 ratio.
3- Check this post. Yes, it works on all...

While I was looking for a solution for this problem, I also found out about GLSL CRT shaders. In case anyone is interested in them, here's what I done.

1- Get the latest version of cgwg's shader...

I found out what the problem was! =)

For some reason, MAME can't get a full path to a effect file, just the name of the file when it's on /usr/local/share/games/mame/artwork. This is what I get in...

There's a new, easy to use Linux frontend for MAME: http://lightningmf.neoname.eu/

Well, did anyone at least have had success with another MAME frontend?

I got a message from Humble Bundle and CodeWeavers with some workarounds. First, install libncurses (sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386). Then, follow this, this, and this link. If you're trying...

I have the same problem here. Any news?

Hey, I'm trying to get QMC2 to play games with scanlines by going to tools>options>emulator>global settings>video>effect and choosing one of the attached pngs which I got from a MAME forum, but none...

Hey, I found something that could work! Try the solution proposed in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1956897

I have the same problem. I looked around and found out that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there should be a "Monitor" section where we could setup gamma. Look what's in this file.

Unfortunately for me all...

It's really sad. I use Thunderbird a lot for mail and RSS. I hope this decision doesn't hurt it.

I've already done it! :p

Isn't there a similar bug requesting OS-Uninstaller to be pre-installed on ISOs?
