Sometimes I download and listen to Retroresan, which is a Swedish podcast about retro games. Recently they talked about the game Disney’s Aladdin to Megadrive, and it sounded pretty fun. So I searched and found a emulator called Gens/OS that seems to work great on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit. However, it isn’t made for 64-bit OS:es, but it runs fine if you force install it. Here are the steps you have to take:

1. Visit http://segaretro.org/Gens/GS, scroll to the bottom of the page and download the most recent version to Ubuntu.
2. Make sure you have ia32-libs installed by typing these commands in the terminal:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

3. Then navigate to your downloads folder in the terminal, and type this line to install Gens/GS:

   sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i gens_2.XXX_i386.deb

4. Now the emulator should pop up under your Games category.

Here follows some links:

• A tread on ubuntuforms.org about Gens to 64-bit Ubuntu.
• An article about more Megadrive emulators to Linux.
• If you want to download Aladdin and play it yourself, visit this page.
• More info about the game Disney’s Aladdin can be found on Wikipedia.
