Extract text from AutoPlay Media Studio projects (AM6)
To convert AM6 projects to another format, you need AutoPlay Media Studio or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project File" file type, you need software like AutoPlay Media Studio or a similar tool.
The .am6 file is a proprietary project file created by AutoPlay Media Studio 6, a development tool by Indigo Rose. Developers use this software to design interactive autorun menus for CDs and DVDs, as well as standalone Windows applications. The .am6 file stores the graphical layout, object properties, and background Lua scripts.
This format has severe limitations today. It is proprietary, entirely closed, and specific to an outdated version of the software. To open it as intended, you need a paid license for the exact or newer version of the software. It also does not contain your actual media files; it only references the file paths of images, audio, and videos stored elsewhere on your hard drive. This means sharing just the .am6 file often results in a broken project.
Users typically want to convert these files to recover the enclosed Lua scripts or extract file paths. The best conversion targets are plain text formats like TXT or XML to read the raw logic, or ZIP if the file contains embedded assets.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. Only the original software can properly render the GUI or export the data to an executable. Our analysis tools can inspect the internal content, allowing you to view raw text data or extract embedded underlying formats even without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AM6 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted APZ, AM4 and AM3 files.
If you want to convert AM6 file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use AutoPlay Media Studio or similar software from the "Interactive CD Menu Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to AM6, try AutoPlay Media Studio or another comparable tool in the "Interactive CD Menu Project" category.
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 AM6 converter.
