A *lot* of old home computer emulators won't be self-sufficient without the
ROM, because the environments were so constrained that ROM-based service
routines were very heavily used.
That's interesting and true. But "a lot" is not "all". I think in the
case under discussion, an OS system ROM isn't necessary to run the
software. You just need particular game ROMs.
