~Probably a dumb question, but: About converting MAME roms

[I Feel Asleep!!]

I heard something about rom converters, and I have some interest in a particular MAME rom, sooo...Is it possible to convert a MAME rom to an SNES SMC rom? At least so that it can be played on an SNES emulator? and if so, could such a converted rom be put onto a repro cart for play on the SNES?
Again, I realize this is probably pretty stupid sounding and likely not possible at all. I'm sure the SNES can't support a direct arcade game in rom form, but I still really just wanted to ask. I would just hella dig the thought of getting the actual Battletoads arcade game on an snes repro cart. dreamin big...

Have not heard of that. I don't think that is possible without an EMU involved.

There are Mame Rom conversion programs to update the checksums to a new version of Mame.
Also have read about language conversions for Japanese console games to a U.S audience.

Yeah that's definitely not possible. Most likely what you've found are converters to get a MAME rom to run in another arcade emulator. Converting a MAME rom to SNES would be like converting a PS2 game to NES, they're completely different beasts. Just get yourself a good controller for your computer, and get MAME going! It'll never let you down!

Yeah i figured it was a stretch.

You may also be thinking of the conversion to prepare Neo Geo roms for use on that one emulator for DS.
