Einstein Emulator currently is a developer preview.
In fact, DP2 rather is a technology preview.
DP3 will include a way to install packages and to execute
newtonscript code and hence will be directly usable by developers.

The ROM image really is 717006.
It's called 717260 (or 710031) once patched, but the patch isn't
extracted by Hammer.
I shouldn't have used this terminology because it really seems to confuse you.

Using Hammer is complex. And slow.
I've been working on a TCP/IP based ROM dumper utility to dump the
ROM more quickly.
Yes, there is enough information in Senior CirrusNoDebug image and
high image to build a ROM dump as the one you extracted.
However, I decided to not write (or release) code doing this to make
Victor safe with distributing UNNA DVDs and CDs. So requiring you to
dump the ROM really ensures that you have a working MP2x00 unit.

You could just have:
- double-clicked X11.app program
- run einstein from the terminal.
Einstein emulator tries to connect to the display indicated by the
DISPLAY variable, if any, or to the local display if it couldn't
connect at first.
I chose a X11 interface (vs a Carbon or Cocoa interface) to make sure
that the result is portable. The emulator compiles for Linux x86, but
the OS doesn't boot, though (it crashes early, probably because of an
endianness problem).
