Gens for Linux ubuntu package

[megamaced]

It's possible to get Gens running on very old hardware with a bit of tweaking. I've got it running perfect full screen on an old P2 laptop with no direct rendering. For older hardware it's best to disable OpenGL in Gens and change the frame skip from 'auto' to '3' or '4'.

NEWBIE ALERT

Where should I extract it to?

[megamaced]

You can extract the zip archive wherever you want to. The Gens installer is in the zip archive.

could you make a .deb for the xe-emulator?

It seems the package is corrupted...

It installs fine but I can't use the emu because of a missing lib. If anyone out there knows where to find libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 please let me know where to find it. I've been looking for it for a little while.

[megamaced]

Try:

sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-0

I downloaded the package myself and got the 'No such file or directory' error. Strange because the version I have stored on my hard drive doesn't do that. It seems as if the package became corrupt on the Ubuntu servers somehow. Anyway I have removed it and uploaded it again. Should be OK now, let me know.
