I was working on a project where I needed to load a commodore 64 image. It was such a pain to get the emulator to work on my kali box so here is a quick tutorial for anyone else that might be getting these errors.

Looks like a missing “kernal” file. After spending a long time reading through the man pages and help files I started googling around. First I gathered a few support files from Zimmers.net but then realized I needed to update a bunch of files so I downloaded the latest build and updated a bunch of files.
