What Are ROMs and Emulators?

For those new to retro gaming, understanding the technology behind game preservation is essential:

ROMs (Read-Only Memory files) are digital copies of game cartridges or discs that contain all the game data from original releases
Emulators are software programs that replicate the hardware of classic gaming consoles, allowing ROMs to run on modern computers and devices
Save states enable players to save progress at any point, adding convenience to games that originally had limited or no save features
Enhancement features such as improved resolution, speed controls, and controller remapping enhance the classic gaming experience
