LGTM.

I think we may get romsize by get_image_size() and delete the redundant code 
like below:
-    fd = open(rom->path, O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
-    if (fd == -1) {
-        fprintf(stderr, "Could not open option rom '%s': %s\n",
-                rom->path, strerror(errno));
+    rom->romesize = get_image_size(rom->path);
+    if (rom->romsize == -1) {
+        fprintf(stderr, "rom: file %-20s: get size error: %s\n",
+                rom->name, strerror(errno));
         goto err;
     }
