A .gz file extension indicates that the target is a single GZIP compressed file.

Try extracting it with the terminal using:

gzip -d dgen.gz

You would then have to execute it in the terminal:

If the dgen file was uncompressed to the top level of your memory card and you had a ROM called alteredbeast.smd there also, you would type:

/media/mmc1/dgen /media/mmc1/alteredbeast.smd

(please note the single space between dgen and /media)
