Programs installed in a Linux/Unix environment follow some conventions.
Executables are (almost) always installed in the /usr/bin directory, usually once a program is
installed you can launch it from a shell, typing its name in lowercase (even if those conventions
are sometimes not fully respected).

You could launch a console and type the name of your emulator, for example assuming it to be
gens:

Code: Select all

gens


should launch it, you can create desktop icons and menu entries with these commands

If you are unsure about its name, you could type its initial letters and then proceed with <tab>,
<tab> will try to find a command beginning with those letters, if there are many of them it won't complete it, but
pressing <tab> twice will give you all these commands.

depending on how your system is set up there can also be more than one bin directory so you can try this also.
from root:

Code: Select all

updatedb
locate bin/gens


or

Code: Select all

updatedb
locate gens
