An ESA-protected ROM file is basically a ROM file protected by the ESA: the Entertainment Software Association. This is a large group of many developers and publishers. The ESA are in charge of many things, such as international anti-piracy actions. If you don't want to get into any trouble, don't download them.
"ESA protection" means that the company that published the game is a member of the ESA. The ESA actively pursues those who host illegal copies of member's games. Not being covered by the ESA does not mean that the ROM can be legally downloaded, just that the ESA does not enforce copyright on that game. The company that published the game (if still in business) can still enforce their copyright and sue both hosters and downloaders ofthe ROM image.
There isn't really any place that you could play it to my knowledge unless of course you found a ROM that wasn't protected by the ESA.
Pick one: ROM, PROM, EPROM write-protected magnetic disk/tape, CD-ROM, DVD-R write-protected partition/file, other user's or sysadmin's file code-segment, read-only data-segment, other user's or kernel's code- or data-segment

A Nintendo DS ROM file.
No. it does not.
To view every single file in a ROM file, you can use a hex editor or a specialized ROM management tool. Hex editors allow you to inspect the binary data directly, while ROM management tools can extract and display file structures in a more user-friendly format. Depending on the ROM format, you may also need specific emulators or utilities designed for that particular system to access and view the files properly. Always ensure you have the right to access and modify the ROM files you are working with.
Click on File, then Save, and make a file for your save. Every time you turn on the ROM, you'll click on File, then Load, and open your save file.
To open a saved file in DeSmuME, first launch the emulator and load your game ROM by selecting "File" > "Open ROM" and navigating to your ROM file. Once the game is running, click on "File" again, then select "Load State" to choose your saved state file, which typically has a .dsv extension. If you’re using save files in the form of battery saves, ensure you have the correct save file in the same directory as the ROM with the appropriate naming convention. After loading the save, you should be able to resume your gameplay from where you left off.
To restore your Visual Boy Advance (VBA) files, first ensure that the .sav file is correctly named to match the corresponding ROM file. If the ROM file appears deleted, you can try to recover it from your computer's recycle bin or use file recovery software to restore it. Once you have both the ROM and the .sav file in the same directory, open the ROM in VBA, and it should automatically load your save state. If the ROM is still missing, you may need to redownload it from a reliable source.
To load a ROM in Kawaks, first, ensure that you have the emulator installed and that your ROM file is in a supported format (like .zip or .neogeo). Open Kawaks and go to the "File" menu, then select "Load Game" or simply press F3. Navigate to the folder where your ROM is located, select the desired ROM file, and click “Open” to load it. The game should now start running in the emulator.
