but the EPROMs writer has too many options (..)
What apparatus are you using to write the EPROM? And what EPROM type(s)? Don't understand "too many options" Question You need a writer that can handle the EPROM type you want to write, and you must make sure you're writing the correct data - but that's about it.

You'll probably want a 'flat binary' file with the EPROM's contents, that is for example if you're writing a 128Kbit EPROM, a file with exactly 16384 bytes binary data. Or 32768 bytes when writing a 256Kbit EPROM, etc. So no 7 byte header like .BIN saved with MSX. But if file format is correct, it probably shouldn't matter whether it's named *.ROM, *.BIN or anything. And some EPROM programmer software can handle .HEX files which is ASCII-like representation of EPROM data.

27c256 = 32k
parodius and salamander = 128k

this is the bad way

You can't run Konami megaROMs from EPROM without some special circuitry to implement the mapper mechanism...

If you're successful into burning something into a cart, I can send you several "marvelous converted" games from both ColecoVision and SEGA SG-1000. They ALL WORK PERFECTLY on any MSX machines, even the exotic ones...

For MegaROMs you need 27C010 (1 Mbit) or equivalent. Or 27C020 for 2Mbit (or 2x 1 Mbit ROMs in one chip) / 27C040 for 4 Mbit like SolidSnake.

If plan is to write MegaROMs in a cart, I suggest you have a look at a MegaFlashROM SCC, or convert a Konami cart into an Ese-SCC. Much more flexible because re-writeable easily.

All MegaROMs have a mapper mechanism that would have to be implemented with extra circuitry.
