[REQUEST] A program to convert ROM files into an .exe

Hello! I was curious if there was a program to convert a ROM into an .EXE file. I know it would probably have to compile the emulator and the game or something, but it would still be nice to have a standalone .EXE file. If anyone knows of such a program, please share!

 

Command-line emulators (Mednafen for example) + bat + some bat to exe converter, i guess its the best option.

 

Are you a Steam user. If so you may be interested to know that with a bit of work you can get individual emulator games to launch from Steam. Great for "big picture" mode! This is something I'm interested in trying myself at some point.

Stranno has the best idea. Your statement is a little vague, though, since translating the ROM into an exe can mean a lot of different things, such as

1) put the ROM and normal emulator all into one file and autostart it (we can pretty much view this as compressing the emulator and ROM into one file)
2) translate the ROM into a true executable for your new platform (in this case, the exe will contain a complete translation of the ROM in native translation. After translation no emulation is done, it's all native code)

The first is just some packaging hacks, the second is an entirely different emulation technique known as static binary translation. Very few emulators use this technique (the only one I can think of off the top of my head is corn).

 

Yeah, what I meant was #1

 

Solucion:

Emulator + Commandline + Rom + Winrar To Pack

Enjoy

 

If you have the source code to the game and nintendo's "dolphin emulator" libraries you could make gamecube exe's!
