On the release versions RPCemu doesn't write anything to a logfile.
I think the CD problems may be a result of using ROS 4.39. Certainly ROS 4.02
uses ATAPI commands not recognised by the CD emulation, which was developed
for 3.7. I will look into this.

Use the 'menu' key (between the right Windows key and the right Ctrl).

That's normal. The Windows version uses the Windows API for all
menus/dialogs, whereas on Linux there's no one API to do this, and I've no
idea how to implement native menus/dialogs there.

I use Ming/W. I believe Jan Rinze uses Cygwin. The one problem you will come
across is that there's no makefile for Windows.
