Yes, although some need both. ROMs are images of physical ROM chips. The hard disk images are called "CHDs" and are usually hard disk images but can also be laserdiscs.
- unnah 3y agoI didn't know they used hard disks in arcade games... were those games implemented on some sort of embedded PC hardware?
- LeoPanthera 3y agoVirtually all arcade games made since the 2000s (ish) run on standard PC hardware.
- TheMogMiner 3y agoMaybe, but Konami "djmain" (first-gen Beatmania series) didn't. Neither did their "Twinkle" hardware (Beatmania IIDX series). Nor did their "Firebeat" hardware (Beatmania III series, Pop'n Music series, Keyboardmania series, Para Para Paradise series). Neither did their "GQ" board (Crypt Killers). Also, Taito's "Type Zero" board (9 games, look it up on System16). Oh, and Atari/Midway/Williams's Seattle, Vegas, Denver, Atlantis, Phoenix, and Flagstaff boards (SF Rush, SF Rush 2049, NFL Blitz, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, Gauntlet: Legends, others). Incredible Technologies' "Eagle" board (Golden Tee Fore, Big Buck Hunter, Virtual Pool). I have omitted quite a few.
