ROM Image

A ROM image, or ROM file, is a computer file which contains a copy of the data from a read-only memory chip, often from a video game cartridge, a computer's firmware, or from an arcade game's main board. The term is frequently used in the context of emulation, whereby older games or computer firmware are copied to ROM files on modern computers and can, using a piece of software known as an emulator, be run on the newer computer.

Famous quotes containing the word image:

    I know not what the younger dreams—
    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
