Thank, bro. Now I have a full picture for Family BASIC. :)

Interestingly, but which category I'll need to carry my future game? Is it hack of Family BASIC or homebrew? :)
P. S.: I hope that the final version of the utility anybody still finds itself in and upload it. ;)

That's the older expired link, actually!
It's not difficult to find the one that works, but I'll attach the file here, for convenience:

Thanks to everyone who posted this utility. Nevertheless, she is no longer needed. My good friend translated it into Russian and simplified its use. No you don't need to put rom of Family BASIC - it's already embedded in utility. Just select your savestate and enter the name of your game. ;)
Here is it:

I like this improved version of STTONES
Is it possible to translated it into English?

Would you like to share the translation?

@AnnaWu

I was never able to figure out what exact board the converted ROMs need. Someday I'd like to put NES BASIC games onto real carts.

Have you figured anything out?

IIRC, the tricky thing is that it not that it needs to be an MMC1 cart with PRG ROM, battery-backed PRG RAM, and CHR ROM (i.e. a pretty generic S[AIJK]ROM) but specifically that you need to load the content of your game into the cart's PRG RAM first.

Tell me, please, how to write ":" - "colon" in VirtuaNES? I can't find this. :(

Zoom in on a photo and see it's the key next to semicolon, which is probably the quotation mark key on your keyboard.

I remember there where at least one key I never could access on VirtuaNES (and another key didn't work on Nestopia) no matter what. But I don't think it was colon. It was probably the kana key or something.
