Wondering if this could be possible?????

[tr8162]

I was wondering if there was a way to take arcade roms like TMNT, The Simpsons, Wrestlefest, etc and somehow port them over onto individual carts for SNES? I think it would be awesome if these games or any classic arcade games that weren't released onto a cart would be fun to have to play on a classic system like SNES.....If anyone has any info on how to do such, please let me know, thanks!!!

I've never heard of anything like that. It'd be far cheaper and easier to get something like a Raspberry Pi and put RetroPie on it with whatever arcade rom you're looking at.

But, you know, roms, illegal, don't do illegal stuff, etc.

Yes but it would need heavy reprogramming.

Yes but it would need heavy reprogramming.

not re-programming, but programming.  from the ground up.

This.

I.e. It's NOT possible.

Thanks, I kinda figured it would have to be redone from the ground up, so pretty much Konami should've released those great arcade titles back in the day when they could've, since they did it with other titles, such as Turtles In Time and Sunsetriders, but that's cool, I guess I could just get some SNES blank cartridges off eBay and make lables and just pretty have that as a display item then, really wish there was way though

I plan one day to get a Raspberry Pi, I think it's one of the best things ever created.

Acclaim owned the rights to The Simpsons on all the consoles at the time, so Konami couldn't release the arcade game on the SNES.

Actually cheaper to buy a pi zero, than it would be to buy an empty genesis cart and labels.

Pi Zero is shit though.  Laggy with SNES, and forget about anything else on par with or beyond its capabilities.

[Hesch]

Pi 3 seems to be pretty accurate. I'm usually pretty sensitive to lag in something like Super Mario World, and the Pi 3 was definitely the closest to retail out of something that cheap.

[sheep2001]

Pi3 is definitely better - but zero will run megadrive/genesis and a lot of arcade games with no problems if cost is the issue.

What's weird is you said Acclaim owned the rights to The Simpsons, but Konami made the game in 1991, the same year Bart vs. The Space Mutants came out, so Konami could've released a SNES port.

So better yet Acclaim could've partnered up with Konami to bring it to the home consoles at that time.

Licensing is a complex and often confusing thing.  There may have been some reason that it wasn't possible (in terms of licensing).

Hell, it could've been as simple as their inability to make it 4-player, which meant no-go as far as who-the-hell-knows was concerned.
