First of all, sorry if I'm asking something dumb or that has already been answered.
I'm planning on translating Persona 2 Innocent Sin from English to another language, however, as a beginner, I'm running into some trouble.
I've extracted the game's ISO and found the EBOOT.BIN archive that is usually where most of the game is, or so I've heard. Then I used MadEdit to open the .bin file, but no matter what encoding type I choose, this is what I get:


Is it normal for it to be this cluster of words/symbols/numbers, or am I doing something wrong? Should I be using a different program?
Sorry for the dumb questions, my only experience with text extract/inject is with PC visual novels, so I'm unfamiliar with other platforms.
Thanks in advance.
