The ROM is the entity that references a specific game or ROM file. It is a launchable item and can not contain child items. Just like the other entities a ROM can have metadata and assets. In the case of the ROM entity, it has far more applicable metadata and assets compared to the other entities. Applying all these metadata values and assets works similar to applying them on a Category or Collection entity.
