The 3 ROM files (ZX80, ZX81, ZX81 improved ROM) supported by picozx81 are linked into the binary. You cannot load an arbitrary ROM file. The reason for this is that to use the SD Card, picoZX81 needs to know the addresses of the ROM LOAD and SAVE routines and intercept them. These addresses differ in the Forth ROM compared to the standard ZX81 ROM.
There are several version of Forth for the ZX81 that do not require a new ROM, such as the Artic Forth, Toddy Forth etc. You could try one of those.
