The manual for Xroar is quite confusing regarding the GUI versions.
I'm running on OSX, and the GUI sure looks like a GTK GUI to me, but isn't.

Yeah. For some reason the author chose to allow the roms to be put in two
differen't locations in the home directory. One is under ~/Library (plus a
subdir that i forgot).
When I saw ~/Library, I expected this was a typo, because /Library is a
system directory.
Long story short- I finally got it the roms working. Have your friend email
me if he needs help.
Plenty of other problems to deal with now.

I have a DSK file that works in VCC, but Xroar gives me an IO error when I
type Dir.
The key mapping between Xroar & VCC doesn't seem to be the same.
I got a short cheat sheat sent to me by the author, but these are not even
in the manual.
