How do I load a LIF into EMU71/WIn?

The ROM image can be configured in Emu71 or ROMCOPYied into an IRAM.

The BIN image is likely an IRAM/EPROM image. It's slightly different than a ROM image.

If you examine the image with a hex editor and the beginning of the file is "3B DD DD ED" then it's an IRAM/EPROM otherwise it's a ROM.

Just to be clear, ROM and IRAM images are NOT like LEX files which can simply be copied to the 71B to make them work. ROM and IRAM images need to be configured into the system in order to work.

Note: Many of the tools use a .BIN extension for both ROM and IRAM images, which annoys me to no end. I suggest you identify the files to avoid confusion. I prefix IRAM images with "I_" to tell them apart.
