Neither do I...
What you might need is what I call a cartridge-loader:
Just rip the ROM data out of the files using a debugger or disk
editor, put it in one file, and use that cartrige-loader to run it.
I wrote a good cartridge-loader once, that will even allow you to
exit without having to reset the machine! (works perfect for 95+
percent of ROM files). Available for download on my pages.
If you have some nice programs to convert that way (that I don't have
yet), feel free to send some to me, for me to do the ripping &
glue-ing of the contents.
P.S. Preferably packed somehow (for safe transport), and no more than
a couple of hundred KB's at once, please?
