Dear Maintainer,

  * What led up to the situation?
The playback of certain sid modules is corrupted without C64 kernal/basic/chargen roms.
For example, using the integrated support for modland, play the module Chimera.sid by Rob Hubbard (modland.com:/HVSC/MUSICIANS/H/Hubbard_Rob/Chimera.sid) and notice that audio is garbled nonsense.

  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
1) apt install open-roms
2) Modified the following options in ~/.config/ocp/ocp.ini:
  kernal=/usr/share/open-roms/C64/kernal
  basic=/usr/share/open-roms/C64/basic
  chargen=/usr/share/open-roms/C64/chargen

  * What was the outcome of this action?
The music played back fine

  * What outcome did you expect instead?
During installation, recommend the open-roms package for better sid playback compatibility

Thanks,
chip
