Define "somehow".they are somehow
I'm not sure what it would be that I am missing on giving you as far as information, but if you can specify something then I will be happy to provide info.I figure there is something you aren't telling us.
It stopped working just this morning. I have not upgraded or installed any software recently. To elaborate, the games were part of a megapack I found online in the form of a torrent. It had a hundred or so seeders and all the files were zipped. I could download the software on my windows partition to test the files if you would like.When did it happen that you can't use sudo? What did you do? Was it after an upgrade?
Not sure what you mean by this, I installed deb a while back through gui. It was my first time installing a distro so I wouldn't have been messing with advanced settings or anything.Define somehow

Installing software outside of Debian's repositories is not recommended practice for new users, since it can mess with your system. See:Mynamajeffisntfunny wrote:I installed deb a while back through gui.

I had a power outage last night so not sure if that is related. Seems pretty unlikely to me but that was the only thing I have really done recently besides download a couple thousand gba games. This is on Deb 9.4 and my kernel is 4.9.0-6 if that helps. Help would be appreciated to get this working.

Alright I will try to avoid this in the future, thank you for notifying me.Installing software outside of Debian's repositories is not recommended practice for new users, since it can mess with your system.
I use firefox so that shouldn't be a problem. As for starting with an easier distro, I read through the linked post and I am going to stick with debian. I don't have anything important stored on here in the case of me doing something stupid and nuking this. I am almost always able to figure out promlems with the help of a search engine. Honestly if I unfixable messed something up I would be fine with it, just an opportunity to start over and try something new. I will however keep in mind what you have said.If you need or use Chrome, Chromium is an open-source version available in the repos. Also, see the discussion as to why Debian is not friendly to new users in my sig. You might want to start with easier distro like Ubuntu, and you will need to get rid of old Windows habits.
