Yes. The -f3 switch tells DASM to create a raw binary file. As opposed to
Intel Hex or Motorola S formats.

No. The chip enable on the vintage ROMs were active high. But they are
active low on standard EPROMs. On the original carts, A12 of the cart port
was tied directly to the ROM CE. To use an EPROM, you would have to add
an inverter (for A12) to get it to work.
