I use kega fusion on my ubuntu 23.10 to emulate sega’s master system, game gear, genesis and cd. I don’t need to emulate anything else. The problem with fusion is, it stopped being supported in 2009 and while the latest version is stable, there is no sound. Because it’s not supported, I don’t know where to ask for help.

if I execute ‘kega-fusion’ on the terminal I get:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so (/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pipewire.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I have this same sound issue with mednaffe. With mednaffe, however, controls don’t even work.

Don’t suggest retroarch: it seems to be a full suite that’s too much for me and I enjoy fusion’s minimalist approach.

Don’t suggest MAME either, it’s also a suite but the mouse reacts oddly and graphics look silly.

I’d also settle for a solution that gives me sound back with fusion.

          That error is from a dependence missing from your system, the flatpak’ed Kega has been compiled to use the flatpak runtime (a separate runtime from the system), this will have all the dependences required by kegaFusion.

          Cutting Edge, Minimal testing, and Ubuntu has a history of bricking systems. The LTS is a lot safer.

            A new guy wouldn’t necessarily know the history of any distro, and a fair assumption to be made by them is to just jump in using the most recent version available, over something “two years old.”
