It's not finding the BIOS file, but it is finding the EEPROM files. Two things you might want to check--whether or not your file is actually called jagboot.rom and what the working directory is when you run VJ (say, from a shortcut).

You have uncovered an honest-to-God bug, though--if the BIOS is unavailable, it shouldn't crash. I should be able to fix that one shortly.
Well, i should be in the proper working directory. I am running on a windows box and launching from a command prompt in the vj folder. I have tried two differnt bios's and had the same effects with both. They both are 128kb but it's hard to say what's floating around out there. I'd get you a copy to try but don't want to post it publically. If you want to send me an email go to my website at http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer (emulation junk )and drop me a line. I'm a little curious. Is the bios file needed and if so, what for? It seems to work without it.

Good timing, BTW. I was just lookin through your source code.

Happy New Year,
John
