Unpack Backlash trainer, possible?

i would like to depack this StormTrooper trainer if possible :

https://demozoo.org/productions/211234/

the reason is that i prefer this trainer than the ATX one, which works in a reverse way, i mean with all the cheats already enabled

also kickstart reasons

custom packer i presume?

This is a standard DEFJAM 3.2 packed binary, no custom packer used.
EDIT: -TCB!- was faster.

thank you guys
it is ok the depacked file?
i have tried the file zoned from -TCB!- ,
but it gives me an error when runned, i need to rename it perhaps?

also, a specific depacker search leaded me to the
Silents - ToolboxIII adf, but the file seems broken in the adf

EDIT solved the second part thanks to another eab thread lol

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=94179

interesting, also that doesnt recognize the cruncher used

The unpacked file is raw code/data not an AmigaDOS executable.

It's assembled to run at address $30000, so in order to run it you need to add code that copies it to that address (after killing the OS). Or use an absolute position cruncher (like Defjam 3.2) to repack it after making whatever modifications you want.

oh this explain all the rest thank you

my (wrong) idea was to test it unpacked, or now that i better understand repacked with a different one, to see if i get rid of the kickstart conflict issues when decompiling

but perhaps its that fixed address that is generating issues with anything different than ks1.x?

which other packers i could try, that work as absolute position like this one?

CrunchMania or StoneCracker will work nicely.
