is this possible to put a famicom rom on a nes cartige?

No, because NES cartridges cannot be written to.

Even if they were EPROMs or flash storage, there are several different architectures for NES cartridges that have to be accommodated. (For example, Super Mario Bros. 3 has the extra audio chip.)

You're better off looking for a NES flashcart. They should be able to run just about any NES or Famicom game, since the only major difference between the systems is the cartridge slot.

Google it. You're never going to find anything like that on e-Bay, they're prohibited items there.

Umm, you can put a famicom rom in an NES cart. I have done so with Famicom Wars. You can do it one of two ways- find the actual famicom cart on ebay and then you can solder it into an NES cart using the Famicom to NES cart pinout. You'd need to gut an NES cart and use it's card connector, after removing the old chips of course. If the famicom game you want to use needs the special sound pin (which the NES does not have on the cart port, but instead on the expansion port underneath) then you'll either have to do without the sound, or make yourself an adaptor off the bottom expansion port.

Huh what? No, it certainly does not - it has a mapper, I think it's MMC3; there's no extra audio there though, as the NES lacks that capability. SMB3 just takes advantage of the DPCM channels more.

Ah Bibin, you forget that the Famicom could have special audio chips in the carts though. Maybe not SMB3, but I know that many Konami games, including Akumajou Dracula, the FDS, and many others all had special audio hardware in the cartridge.

Buy one of those Gyromite cartridges with a convertor.

Take the Gyromite board (the one with blobs on it) and throw it away, you will never play it again.

Open the famicom cartridge CAREFULLY they break pretty easily. Plug the board into the connector inside of the NES cartridge.

Plug it in.

If it doesn't play, turn the Famicom game board around.

I have done this with a 32 in 1 cartridge.

Only place I've seen those lists them as "Temporarily Unavailable", and they aren't cheap, either.

They get stock every 3 or 4 weeks, they just sell out really fast. And that is your cheapest solution.
