Other copyright holders have released games which are no longer commercially viable free of charge to the public under licenses that prohibit commercial use of the games. At one point, various Capcom games were sold with the HotRod arcade joystick manufactured by Hanaho, but this arrangement was discontinued as well. However, by 2006 the ROMs were no longer being sold there. For example, in 2003 Atari made MAME-compatible ROMs for 27 of its arcade games available on the internet site Star ROMs. Some copyright holders have explored making arcade game ROMs available to the public through licensing. However, some countries (including the US) allow the owner of a board to transfer data contained in its ROM chips to a personal computer or other device they own. Downloading or distributing copyrighted ROMs without permission from copyright holders is almost always a violation of copyright laws. Most arcade games are still covered by copyright.

This results in the ROM set requirements changing as the games are emulated to a more and more accurate degree, causing older versions of the ROM set becoming unusable in newer versions of MAME.

For example, the monster behavior in Bubble Bobble was not perfected until the code and data contained with the custom MCU was dumped through the decapping of the chip. Emulation of these chips is preferred even when they have little or no immediately visible effect on the game itself. Besides encryption, arcade games were usually protected with custom microcontroller units (MCUs) that implemented a part of the game logic or some other important functions. Bootleg copies of games are often the first to be emulated, with proper (and copy protected) versions emulated later. The approach MAME takes with regards to accuracy is an incremental one systems are emulated as accurately as they reasonably can be. MAME emulates well over a thousand different arcade system boards, a majority of which are completely undocumented and custom designed to run either a single game or a very small number of them. System boards like the Neo Geo that have ROMs shared between multiple games require the ROMs to be stored in 'BIOS' ROM sets and named appropriately. For example, Street Fighter II Turbo is considered a variant of Street Fighter II Champion Edition. In addition to the 'parent' ROM set (usually chosen as the most recent 'World' version of the game), games may have 'clone' ROM sets with different program code, different language text intended for different markets etc.

A game usually consists of multiple ROM and PAL images these are collectively stored inside a single ZIP file, constituting a ROM set. The resulting files are often generically called ROM images or ROMs regardless of the kind of storage they came from. The contents of most of these devices can be copied to computer files, in a process called 'dumping'.

In most arcade machines, the data is stored in read-only memory chips (ROMs), although other devices such as cassette tapes, floppy disks, hard disks, laserdiscs, and compact discs are also used.

The original program code, graphics and sound data need to be present so that the game can be emulated.
