I wrote a useful python script that allows batch conversion of these files. You can find it here
Usage instructions can be found in the read-me file for the tool.
Hello alpaca.

I found that somebody in TWC make .bin editor and it actually open .bin files like Notepad .txt. Is it possible to direct modify .bin files or I need to convert it in .txt (probably stupid question but...)?
