So what is a ROM, simply put it’s a video game contained in a computer file.
To play ROMs an emulator is required; a program version of a video game console. Each emulator is designed for the machine it is working on or in more technical terms designed for each operating system.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
I have my Wii modded running Snes Roms. It's a nice emulator because it auto updates and works perfect with any controller with no setup required.
Please note you must also own a legal copy of each game or it's considered illegal.
In my situation I have bought all my games at 1 point anyway. I spent thousands in the 16bit days.
Roms are what we use to get backward compatibility with older games.
Any quad core PC of today with a half decent GPU can pretty much emulate any console in history (asides the PS3 and Xbox 360).
Personally i think console companies these days have made a good business out of charging people again and again for the same old games, with no assurance of future BC at all.
As long as people have a license PC equipped with emulators makes alot of sense.

I had previously purchased Snes games like:
WWF RAW, Super Mario World, Super mario Kart, WWF Wrestle Mania the Arcade
For Nes i had purchased:
Battle City
I see no harm in emulating those old games, even though i no longer have the physical disk. No point paying console makers for stuff i already paid for.
I own all playstation final fantasy games and I make ISO Roms so I can play these classics on my android phone on the go. This is a great technology!
It's a form of storage that was originally used on cartridges to store the program for the compiled games there's even different types of ROM's.
There's Mask ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM.
Mask ROM: Read only storage.
PROM: One time programmable storage, used frequently in video game consoles, mobile phones, RFID tags, and other electronic / automotive products (non-volatile).
EPROM: Erasable programmable storage, only way to erase data is by exposing the chip to a high ultraviolet light (non-volatile).
EEPROM: Electrical Erasable programmable storage, stores data as long as its being powered, these are usually on PC Motherboards and are being powered by a Lithium Battery(non-volatile).
Cartridge based games today such as the 3DS and DS use Mask ROMs for game data, while save data is on either flash memory or an EEPROM.
Roms are all just ways to steal games. Seriously people, stop lying to yourselves with lame justifications.
Im not judging, just saying a duck is a duck. Dont sit there and say a duck isnt a duck, because it kinda walks like a penguin or swims like seagal.
