Try (in general) to get ready made Debian (.deb) packages - they are a lot easier to install, or Redhat packages (.rpm) - same thing applies, much easier to install.

Out of curiousity, I downloaded the file you listed below and used 'Ark' to extract it etc. - and you do get an executable which runs, it opens a window and prompts for the location of the ROM file.

So it seems to run okay, but I do not have the ROM!
