Hello,
I have installed Trisquel 6.0 on my netbook in an effort to use a fully free
GNU/Linux operating system. Since the machine I am using has limited hardware
performance, I install emulators of old game consoles for gaming. I installed
ZSNES and FCEUX (SNES and NES emulators, respectively) but wish to install a
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator from Trisquel's official repository. The
other distribution I use heavily is Slackware, which offers an emulator named
Gens/GS unofficially. It works very well and as far as I know Trisquel does
not offer any Sega emulators at all.
I am fairly certain Gens/GS is under the GPL, and I don't see any immediate
problems with it in comparison to other game emulators in Trisquel's repos.If
the emulator is in fact problematic, I would like to know how so, and I will
look elsewhere. Thank you very much, and regards.
Wikipedia entry for Gens/GS lists it as GPL'd and free software:
