To add detail to Joe Smith's reply:

$ dict rom
3 definitions found

From WordNet (r) 2.0 (August 2003) [wn]:

  ROM
      n : (computer science) memory whose contents can be accessed and
          read but cannot be changed [syn: {read-only memory},
          {ROM}, {read-only storage}, {fixed storage}]

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 Sep 2003) [foldoc]:

  ROM
  
     {Read-Only Memory}
  

From V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (March 2005)
[vera]:

  ROM
         Read Only Memory (ROM)


So, ROM images are bit copies of game cartridge ROMs, stored in
files.
