This article is about the BNR file format.
BNR file (Banner file format) is a file used for instance in the cube menu when inserting a disc in menu mode.
From yagcd:

note: In the filesystem of european Games with multi-lingual text there may be several .bnr files (opening.bnr, openingUS.bnr, openingEU.bnr, openingJP.bnr). The opening.bnr is a BNR2 file, it is just like a regular BNR file, except that the metadata at the end repeats several times in different languages. 0x1820 through 0x1960 are the first, and it continues in blocks of 0x0140.
