Does/Can a translation adaptor exist?

[DemonoidTentacle]

So I'm sitting here over the weekend with some Famicom games running through my Honeybee adaptor into my NES. Whilst I play I really wish I could read fluent japanese. Now I'm aware that there's fan translation patches for games running via emulation, but I really don't enjoy emulation.

 

So then this thought popped into my head. Is there some kind of adaptor out there, similar to my Honeybee adaptor that takes say an SD card that you can upload a fan translation patch to and then run the physical cart through the adaptor into a NES console?

 

Does such a thing exist?

 

EDIT: I'd just like to add that these thoughts aren't limited purely to the NES. If there was something like this for the Saturn using the memory slot or something, that'd be great.

Flash cart. Load the translated ROMs onto it. Example: the NES Power Pak.
