Surely it's possible to convert a NAOMI cartridge game into a GDI image, as its also possible to convert a Naomi GD-ROM to cartridge. But there is no (logical) reason for someone to put effort in doing this.
I have an exclusive NAOMI game which specifications are under Dreamcast capacities (it could run it), uses of RAM etc, so looking for doing some experimental thing
Its not just a matter of ram usage. Naomi uses different memory ranges than dreamcast and if i remember right from megavolt all naomi games use it extensively first. You would have to hack some things and be very knowledgeable in sh4 to boot.
Edit: it was p1pkin( works on demul) who said it best, all naomi games use the memory ranges non existant on dc first.
I suppose any NAOMI game uses "extra" RAM, because in many cases various data stored in stack-style (in "backwards" order, from very top to bottom)
