If you don't use the GUI, then I think you have to specify everything in a configuration file, and run it with: e-uae -f prog.myconf An example file is: kickstart_rom_file=/home/whoever/games/amiga/kickstart/kick13.rom floppy0=/home/whoever/games/amiga/games/kick13/Speedball.adf joyport0=mouse joyport1=kbd2 cpu_type=68000 bogomem_size=0 fastmem_size=0 use_gui=false If e-uae can't find the kickstart ROM (from your error message), then obviously it can't run the emulator. So, I suppose this bug is invalid.
See above.
