Ooooooh, I forgot to mention. On some systems (Linux, MAC?) the kernal-,
basic- and charset- (character set) roms are not distributed which VICE
needs to launch. As I remember the Windows version of VICE has them
included though for reasons I cannot understand.
To find out if that is your problem, open a terminal and just type x64 to
see if it complaints about not having them available.
I'd be surprised if you use Windows and not get it running. Check (Linux
paths, might be similar in windows or MAC OS) check if you have any files
in ../vice/data/C64/. If not, try to find basic, chargen and kernal or
send me an email for help.
