But they are already alive with the ROM..

It's the difference between emulating the system to run that rom and just actually playing it on your computer

I get that but the title title implies that ROMs are dying and they need to be saved.

There are still many difficulties.

This makes playing those ROMs are various platforms and architectures fwr more viable an option, and using far less power and hardware than emulation would require.
