I'm unable to get it working as well, same problems as watchersgrim, i referred to the manual, the first instruction is "LOAD: open a rom file (nes/zip) or save state file (sav). You mentioned that the rom files need to be created ourselves. I don't see any instruction on how to perform that process. It seems to start with the understanding that we've already done that. Some advice on this would help, otherwise i'm just going to be stuck. Have tried several things already.
