Where are my Games?

[scater]

When I download a game from the Ubuntu Software manager, it doesn't show up in the applications. Is there another place where the files are located? And how can I execute them? I am trying to run Mednafen

have you install the Menu Editor?
if not install it from Synaptic Package Manager

then under Applications > Other > Menu Editor

in the Menu Editor under Games look for the game you are looking for and place check in the box in front of it, it will be in your Games listing

good luck and have fun learning

Mednafen is a CLI program, so open a terminal (Applications, Accessories, Terminal), and enter mednafen

I did what you said. I came in contact with the program not opening. It is in the games menu on applications. But when I click to open it, it doesn't load...
