For RAR check out http://www.rarlab.com and get "WinRar". It's a compression tool like Winzip.

The .bin file is probably already a decompressed rom but the extension is not set correctly. Just download Tool64 here:
http://www.smiff.clara.net/utils/rom.htm
and verify the file format and rename it accordingly to .z64 or .v64.

But before loading any of these with PJ64 make sure you use GoodN64 to verifiy the roms.

You will have to download "Tool64" off the site mentioned and see if it's really in z64 or v64 format already. Then you just rename it in explorer (right click, rename, ABC.bin -> ABC.z64). I did never understand why Tool64 didn't offer to rename all files to their correct extensions itself D'oh.

If "Tool64" doesn't recognize the dump format at all, then you really do have a bad dump and you will have to find another source. In most cases people are just too lazy to name the file with the proper extension. It's not unusual to get .rom, .usa, .n64 etc. I didn't get .bin yet though. :)
