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 that. Then it gave me this
menkin@menkin-desktop:~$ mednafen
Starting Mednafen 0.8.C
Loading settings from "/home/menkin/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg"...
Compiled against SDL 1.2.14, running with SDL 1.2.14
No command-line arguments specified.
Usage: mednafen [OPTION]... [FILE]
Please refer to the documentation for option parameters and usage.

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...
