Most *.bin files are archive files. They're similar to narc, but slightly different.

0x0-3: Unknown; 00 00 00 00
0x4-7: Number of Files
0x8-B: Start of 1st file
0xC-F: Length of 1st file
(8+8x) to (B+8x): Start of file index x
(C+8x) to (F+8x): Length of file index x
where x=0 to (value of 0x4-7) - 1

I might work on it more, but I'll give more time into my save editor for this game.

Have fun, ROM researchers!

[edit]
Attached simple .Net Framework 4.0 command line utility to extract files from a bin archive.
[edit 2]
An untested version for .Net Framework 2.0 has been uploaded.

I'm not going to bother since it would all fall on deaf ears. I'll just copy and paste parts of the end bit from what I wrote:

So.. I'm done. The link at the bottom is to all of my stuff- databases, notes, the spreadsheet, programs, etc. The IDBs are also in text format(.s is plain text; don't use notepad though- they're too big). I'm sure more than a few people will want some of the lists and .bss sections from the different binaries in them- especially the script commands and such ... That said, I'm not exactly leaving completely. I will still be working on PokeGen occasionally and the development "library" for W2. A few of those headers are done. Expect something like the main boost lib where almost the entire thing is headers and it will come with instructions for building code and a list of what to install(DevkitARM and such).


(You're going to want IDA 6.1.110315 to view the IDB files. That's where the most useful stuff is. arm9-white2_decompressed_U.idb is the main one.)
