Extract text from Chiptune modules (0CC)
To convert 0CC Modules to another format, you need 0CC-FamiTracker or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Tracker Module File" file type, you need software like 0CC-FamiTracker or a similar tool.
A .0cc file is a specialized chiptune music module created by 0CC-FamiTracker (or its modern forks like Dn-FamiTracker). It is an advanced fork of the original FamiTracker program used by composers to create authentic 8-bit music for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Famicom.
Like all tracker formats, a .0cc file does not contain actual audio recordings. Instead, it contains raw sequencing data - notes, instrument definitions, hardware volume envelopes, and arpeggio schemes that instruct sound chip emulators how to synthesize the track in real-time. Because it lacks waveform audio, this proprietary format has major disadvantages for casual listening. You cannot play a .0cc file in standard media players like VLC, iTunes, or your web browser. Additionally, because it uses unique effect commands exclusive to the 0CC fork, it is generally not backwards-compatible with the vanilla FamiTracker software.
To share your track or listen to it anywhere, you must convert the module into a standard audio format like WAV, MP3, or FLAC. Alternatively, developers and enthusiasts often export it to NSF (NES Sound Format) to play the music on original retro hardware.
Standard online audio converters fail to process .0cc files because rendering the music requires a highly specific emulator for Nintendo's custom sound chips (like the 2A03 or VRC6 expansions). Usually, the only way to convert the audio is to open the file in the native tracker software and use its built-in "Export to WAV" feature.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our 0CC converter.
