Steam version. ROMs can be extracted with https://github.com/Masquerade64/Cowabunga , arcade ROMs converted to work with latest MAME (0.267 ~currently) with https://github.com/farmerbb/RED-Project/blob/master/ROM%20Extraction/tmnt-cc-arcade-extract.sh (put in extracted roms/Konami dir and run in WSL w/ "./[script name]"; requires a couple other things but it'll tell you if you how to get them if you don't have them installed).

The extracted ROMs include a later, Japanese version (much smaller, modifies US ROM?) of TMNT (PCB) but NOT a Japanese version of TMNT2 (PCB).

There's a guide to the extraction here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3041447320
 
The process dumps certain GB/GBC/GBA bios files. Unfortunately, does NOT include the 16384 byte gba_bios.bin that Mesen requires for GBA emulation.

The Steam extraction guide describes the GB bios files as follows:
 
~~~~
- agb_boot.bin
Game Boy Color Boot ROM used in the Game Boy Advance's Game Boy Color mode
Very few emulators use this.
- cgb_boot.bin
Game Boy Color Boot ROM
It is a useful BIOS for emulation in, for example SameBoy.[docs.libretro.com]
- cgb_boot_fast.bin
A modified version of the Game Boy Color Boot ROM that skips the intro logo
Not recommended to be used for emulation BIOS.
- dmg_boot.bin
Original Game Boy Boot ROM
It is useful BIOS for emulation in, for example SameBoy.[docs.libretro.com]
- sgb_boot.bin
Super Game Boy CPU Boot ROM
It is useful BIOS for emulation in, for example Mesen-S.[docs.libretro.com]Note that this is not the Super Game Boy ROM, which would be needed as well.
- sgb2_boot.bin
Super Game Boy 2 CPU Boot ROM
It is useful BIOS for emulation in, for example Mesen-S.[docs.libretro.com]Note that this is not the Super Game Boy 2 ROM, which would be needed as well.

(The sgb_boot files are only 256 bytes each, for instance, while the SGB1.sfc and SGB2.sfc roms I extracted from the SFC carts are 256 and 512 KB, respectively.)
