Bus error

I have been working with Virtual Jaguar v1.0.6 trying to get it work on OS X 10.3.2 with no success thus far. Admittedly, I have not used Terminal at all so it is new to me as well so please bear with me.

I have listed above the Terminal Window response and the problem that I am having. What I do first is doubleclick on the "vj" application to get Terminal to launch whereupon I get a Terminal Window that will not let me do anything. I close that Window down go to the top menu "File" and select "New Shell". I have replaced my name with "******" for privacy purposes. I type "cd" and hit "enter". I then drag and drop the "vj" application on the Terminal Window to establish the path. After that I type "./vj and hit "enter" whereupon a new Window opens up as if the program is trying to launch but after after a second or so, the program crashes and I get the typical Apple window which states: The application vj has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. etc.

The Terminal Window indicates there is a "Bus error". Right?? I have the "jagboot.rom" in the Bios Folder. Shouldn't the "vj" application launch with a logo or something or do I have to launch a game at the same time.

Where do I place the game.rom files?? I have read that the .jag files need to be renamed to .j64 and have tried that as well. I have Zoop!.j64 and in the Terminal Window I typed ./vj [zoop] and the program tried to launch as described above and crashed again with a "Bus error". I tried ./vj [zoop!] and it didn't do anything at all. Are there specific names for each game file that have to be typed in?? I have an Alien vs Predator (1994).jag file which needs to be renamed .j64 but what do I type in the [**********] for a file like this??

But first I just need to get the program up and running and not crash!!

Any help would be appreciated!! I'm ready to play some Jaguar games on my Mac!! I do have an Atari Jaguar and Cart/CD's but it would be really neat to play AVP, Cybermorph, or Iron Soldier, etc. on my computer!!
