Alright so basically I'm trying to decompress a .bin data archive(not an image/ISO), or call it whatever you will. So I've unpacked the .nds file with DSLazy(harvest moon cute for anyone who is wondering) but all I'm left with is a ton of .bin files which i can't access so i wanted to know if any tools to deal with this currently exist? If not what would be the best way to decompress/hack the .bin files? Help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Are you certain they're compressed and not just unimaginatively-named?

What kind of filenames are you looking at?

None of them look compressed to me. A bunch have pointer tables at the start.

Not sure if this is what you mean.
NDS_UNPACK\\data\\chara
animal.bin
boy.bin
character.bin
desktop_.ini
enemy.bin
extrachar.bin
girl.bin
And it goes so forth for everything else script, items, maps etc.

That's the sweet thing about DS ROMs: they like to keep their palette data and graphics in the same files. :3

Just open it in Tile Molester and use the settings he gave. 8bpp linear codec, import palette from 415364.
The files aren't compressed in the least; they're just unhelpfully named. Imagine the ROM in this case as a shelf full of cans all labeled "CAN" in big bold letters. That doesn't mean you can't open them and find carrots or beans or vienna sausages ready-to-eat; it just means you have to do a little bit more work to figure out which is which.
Death Note: The Kira Game, by contrast, is more like a convenience store where everything is in helpfully-descriptive packaging and grouped with similar items on the same aisles.

Alright so i got Tile Molester 0.16 but err i don't see any .exe files to launch it, i really appreciate you guys being so patient with me, but I'm new too all this. Also there are files in the NDS_UNPACK\\data\\sound directory they have extensions such as;
sound_data.sadl
sound_data.sarc
sound_data.sdat
Any idea's how to open these?
