Hacking Are there any tools to pack/unpack the .bin files from the ace attorney games?

[TheGreatAceCroatian]

So, I'm currently working on a translation of the games and managed to edit the main text (which is about 95% of the game), however all of the info about evidence is saved as textures which I suppose are saved in one of the .bin files inside the data folder. I already found a tool that can extract the data.bin file, but that one only contains the textures of the characters. Does anyone have experience in modding the game?

(And I also just noticed that the software is half-baked, so this data.bin file might contain the textures I'm looking for, but the file table provided by phoenixtools is incomplete...)

So, I did a little more research and here's a quick update: the tool I used (phoenixtools) provides the filetable only for the German/Spanish/Italian versionnof the games so the easiest solution for me would be ebay-hunt for those versions... Phoenixtools also doesn't seem to have a "repack" option, so if someone knows anotger tool that might help me, I'll apretiate it!

Last update: I ended up finding the program I needed. In case anyone needs it, it's called Lz77restructor2.
