   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.
