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.
Try the Flatpak:

Blast Em. https://www.retrodev.com/blastem/
Standalone (not retro arch). Modern emulator (don’t think it’s updated anymore though). Linux support. I think it’s also available on Flathub if you want to get it via there.
Or…
Ares. https://ares-emu.net
Multi system emulator originally developed by Near (rip). Yes, it plays more systems than you are looking for, but it is simple, standalone (no retroarch/libretro), very good, Linux support, and still updated (latest version 23 Jan). Also available on Flathub if you want it there.
I suggest to try these emulators, they’re modern and they aim for cycle accuracy, rather than finding a way to keep a 15 year old emulator running.
