Hello,
I am new to the forum and also new to RE'ing in general. I tried to test the waters a few years ago but due to time constraints I did not get very far back then. Anyways I am back at it :D
I want to reverse engineer a specific rom file. The first problem that I have is that the file is packed and I am not sure how to identify or unpack the rom.bin file. A friend told me that he thinks LZEXE or PKlite should work for this type of packer, but as I quickly found out both of them only support com and exe files. I tried a few automated tools to identify the type of packer that was used, however without any success. Looks to me like most of the stuff I have found is geared twords executables.
Thanks in advance for any help.
FYI,
these are the first few offsets in hex, looks like part of the header.

00 B0 01 00 00 B0 01 00 02 0A 00 00 00 00 00 40
