What is it exactly you want to do with the ROM files. Are you trying to make a disc of roms for emulation.

You can make an ISO image of almost anything if you want too. It's not converting them really, but rather building an image file.

They don't need to be converted.

There are ELF files (applications for PS2) that work for each type of ROM.
So say you want SNES, then there is a SNES.ELF file that launches the roms from inside a ROM folder, either from USB,HDD or from a CD

There are some tutorials here:

Another guide for SNES on a DVD
http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/showthread.php?t=282434

I have my SNES on a DVD and run it using the latest ESR r9a.
I also run Sega Genesis ROMS using PGen.elf
InfoGB for gameboy roms.

There are also disks already made with ROMS and the ELF file needed.
One can just download them if they search.
