Files on commercial game discs naturally have proprietary formats designed by the company that produced the game. Unless someone has 'cracked' that format, or obtained insider information from that company, there is no way to know what data structures they use. That requires serious cracking/hacking...

And cracking/hacking of commercial games is not really what we do here.

I understand what you say dlanor, but i thought some people here are aware of the way these bin files are packed since certain games have to be unpacked in order to make dvdrips.I don't think you consider dvd ripping as piracy.

'I don't think you consider dvd ripping as piracy.'

LOL

Seriously what's so funny? I mean ripping a dvd when you own the original is legal, the same when you install games off HD and you have the original. But that's another debate, i just want to know how to unpack bin files.

Have you tried ISOBuster?

As i said before i'm not trying to extract from windows iso and bin format. I want to decompress the .bin files that are inside PS2 isos, not all games have one but the one i want to "dissassemble" has this bin file.
