The ROM images for the 8-bit components required to make VICE are
copyrighted, and you install them at your own legal risk.  Tulip
Computers, in the Netherlands, appears to hold the copyright to them,
and is being somewhat persnickety about who uses them.  You will have
to get your ROMs somewhere other than this package.

You may download the ROM files from
ftp://ftp.zimmers.net/pub/cbm/crossplatform/emulators/VICE/old/index.html
(vice*-roms.* archives) and unpack the contents into the matching directories
in /usr/share/vice.  You will probably need to be root to do this.
The per user ROMs directory is under the ~/.local/share/vice/ path.

But the most authentic source of the ROMs is the VICE source package itself,
under the data/ directory.
It can be downloaded from https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/ .
