Check the links in that resource. I got the bin from the x86 emulator and plopped it in the roms folder. Worked like a charm.

Hi, as is mentioned you need the xebec ROM, but congratulations on finding the config option, most people don't get that far! I do have plans for making this whole process easier at some point, bear with me.
