Extract text from Nintendo DS audio libraries (2SFLIB)
To convert 2SFLIB audio libraries to another format, you need foobar2000 or other Audio software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Audio Library" file type, you need software like foobar2000 or a similar tool.
A .2sflib file is an audio library format used to store instrument samples and sound banks extracted from Nintendo DS video games. It works alongside smaller 2sf (Nintendo DS Sound Format) files, which contain the sequence data that triggers the sounds stored in the library.
You can open these files using specialized audio players with emulation plugins, such as foobar2000 (using the foo_gep plugin) or Audio Overload.
This format is highly specialized and heavily fragmented. A .2sflib file cannot be played on its own; it requires the accompanying 2sf track files in the same directory. It is not supported by web browsers, standard audio editors, or mobile music apps. Because it relies on hardware emulation to synthesize the audio in real-time, standard online audio converters completely fail to process it.
If you want to listen to these tracks on standard devices, you must render the audio to standard formats like MP3, FLAC, or WAV. Converting to these formats results in much larger file sizes, but guarantees universal playback.
Because this is a specialized emulation format, it is extremely difficult to convert online. Only software capable of emulating the original Nintendo DS sound chip can properly read and export the data. If our analysis detects a supported embedded audio format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your 2SFLIB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 2SFLIB converter.
