[BigSilly]

thanks buddy this works perfect on ubuntu 11.10

busy playing Dune: The Battle For Arrakis, this game is a classic.

thanks again

It still works??

Cool!

Have you tried Kega Fusion on Linux too? Works very well imho. Still, I hope development is still ongoing for this, though I sadly expect not.

Good afternoon. I write with the help of Google translator. I am from Russia. The problem is this: when a game console emulator Gens\gs is open to full screen, it does not work hotkey ALT + F4. If the emulator is running in windowed mode, the hot keys work fine.
Operating system - Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

Thanks, this script works perfectly, probably works with other i386 packages you're having trouble installing also. The lack of an i386 version of xdg-utils seems to be what's causing the issue...... this script magically fixes it.... where dkpg --force-architecture wont.... which is kinda wierd really. o.O

the easiest way to use this script is copy it and the Gens_2.16.7_i386.deb package into the same folder, open a terminal in that folder and use the following command line

./deb-from-i386-to-amd64.sh Gens_2.16.7_i386.deb Gens_2.16.7_amd64.deb

Here's the 32 to 64 bit .deb script. It's quite easy to use. I'm no Linux expert at all, but this worked for me anyway.

EDIT: Sorry, rude of me. Here's the Read Me.

Attached is a shell script to convert the 32-bit Debian packages to 64-bit packages, if you prefer those. Unpack, mark executable, and run on the command line with the path to the 32-bit package as an argument. Like so:

username@username-desktop:~$ '/home/username/Downloads/deb-from-i386-to-amd64.sh' '/home/username/Emulators/Gens_2.15.5-gs-m6-1_i386.deb' Gens_2.15.5-gs-m6-1_amd64.deb

Obviously substitute the package there with whichever emulator or package you are wanting to use.
