I'm interested in this so feel free to cc me when you do. I can help
with review. However I think you should submit this for rpmfusion in the
first place or block your review request for legal as I do not think it
has much change of being accepted in Fedora.

Unfortunately only a few spectrum roms are provided by above package.
As I understand package was created to simplify spectrum emulators
installation and roms were downloaded from Philip's website why not
include all roms provided there ?
Fuse emulator supports most of the systems that Philip's website
provides roms for. I see it quite impractical to to patch fuse to find
roms from two places.
