Hi Ciaran,
I have now installed the Windows version also, and after reading your 
document, particularly the troubleshooting section, it would appear that 
neither the linux nor the Windows (Windows 8.2) version see my rom file. 
The file was downloaded from the dragon website, and once unzipped, is 
called COCO.ROM. That file has all three ROMs in it, CB, ECB and DECB. 
It has a two byte preamble ($0080).\

All I get is the checkerboard screen, and the stderr.txt file says:
WARNING: Can't find ROMs for any machine.

Module init: Windows file requester

Module init: SDL audio

I think I must be doing something fundamentally wrong :(
