777xxxx, If you are talking about Intel Hex files, be careful as some of them contain blocks of code spread around different memory areas, because memory on the MK14 is split up into several distinct blocks.

Those ones won't convert / translate directly into single raw binary files. I'm surprised MAME doesn't support the loading of Hex files.
