Hi! I am the developer of X-Blaster Dominator and I have good news for you. The new version (beta 0.4) does not need to run dynamic library. So you can download the package for Ubuntu, Fedora or ArchLinux. If you have another distribution, the binary package will be available during the day and you will not need Glew, OpenAL and all other library.
I'm too lazy to download all the req. libraries (sfml2, glew1.5, libjpeg6.2) btw. the support forum is french only and all I can still say in french is salut, merci, bonjour and je ne parle pas francais :P
BeagleSNES is far more than a Linux distribution that boots into an emulator. The emulator has been profiled for these ARM platforms and modified for performance. The GUI front-end is integrated into the emulator itself. The kernel has been patched to make the system run specifically for this purpose (i.e. if performance was too slow in user space, it was pushed out to kernel space). The SNES9X emulator that BeagleSNES used as a base runs quite slowly on these boards without the modifications that were made to BeagleSNES. The reason that BeagleSNES runs as fast as it does is because the kernel, bootloader, and emulator are all modified to serve a single purpose. The underlying distro, libraries, file system, etc. does not have much impact on this. This is why the source released for this project includes kernel, bootloader, and application code. The full system image is provided for the convenience of the end users to assist them in getting the system up and running quickly. I'm disappointed that this project would be viewed as only a distro that boots into an already existing emulator, since far more engineering and research work has gone into this project. Solutions for existing issues on these platforms, like adding USB hotplugging support in user space to work around kernel bugs, have been discovered during BeagleSNES's development and provided back to the BeagleBoard and TI communities. The documentation for the project is well-organized and was prepared with the intention that it will (hopefully) serve as a useful resource for other developers that wish to develop Linux multimedia software for the BeagleBoard-xM and BeagleBone Black hardware platforms.
19:59:21Superuser Lichess, the free and open source, the most comprehensively-featured chess website, brimming with HTML5-ness and modern web goodness, with no ads (ever), recently had a new release! Check it out at lichess.org
11:42:02Curly Brace Hi, Superuser. No, web based games are not added (with only few exceptions, like Quake Live). However, there was a separate forum thread for HTML5 games, you can leave interesting links there

Not even close!, Raiden and esp.
Not even close!, Raiden and esp. Raiden 2 has everything this game doesn't have great music, boss fights, lovely pixel graphics and an ending.
If you want a good vertical shmup on linux try Friking Shark, Tyrian, Jamestown(bullet hell) or Raptor: Call of the shadows(not available anymore...)
Game: Chromium B.S.U.
I really don't know why people advertise this
Chinese praise this as "Raiden on Linux", I don't see a proper reason.

May the fact it is still under maintaince have proven its playability.
Game: My Tribe
torrent offered and the website archived thanks to Internet
Don't know if you will remove it.
May someone can talk to grubbygames.

Unforunately I get a Shader
Unforunately I get a Shader creation error on Windows.
On Ubuntu there is no error message but it shuts down right after starting
