Cant install package after downloading PPA

Asked by Andrew Sherry

Im trying to install two pieces of software, ScanMem and Game Conqueror.
ScanMem is a back end terminal based application designed for variable scanning and injection.
Game Conqueror is the front end GUI.

Now, I've tried to look this up and I've just been beating my head against a brick wall.

First I downloaded the PPA via terminal.
ppa:coolwanglu/scanmem is the location.

Then I installed the ScanMem back end entirely without problems.
But, when i went to install the GUI I hit this:
"E: Couldn't find package gameconqueror"

I've looked around and pretty much everything said something along the lines of
"Oh, you just use Configure && make && sudo make and install"
I tried that.
No such luck.

Any clues would be muchly appreciated.

Did you run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:coolwanglu/scanmem ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install scanmem

That will install scanmem for you. The PPA seems to be missing gameconqueror. I suggest you contact the maintainer to ask what the deal is. You can always use scanmem at cli until the gui is published.

Can you help with this problem?
