In their original form, ROMs were physical chips soldered into game cartridges or computer boards. Unlike Random Access Memory (RAM), they were designed to retain data without power and prevent accidental overwriting. However, the process of "dumping"—extracting the binary data from these physical chips into digital files—effectively transformed the hardware into portable software.
