hi, any idea on how to recompress .bins in a game?

[potionseller]

hello.


there is a certain game i am working with, and its rather small, around 880 MB, but I am packing it anyway.

the problem is, that most of its main data in the games files are in one .bin file, and i just cant seem to open it. i have tried ultraiso, magiciso, 7zip, nothing. if anyone has any help on how to do a conversion of a .bin like this to a folder so i can possibly compress it better, do tell.

also, what are some better compression tools for older games? i just use the normal version of freearc, ultra-arc gives me worse compression for some reason, and i would like to use better compression on certain titles.
