About B files
The .b file extension is a versatile container primarily known as a saved game file for Rockstar Games titles like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Vice City. These binary files store critical progress data, including player location, mission status, and inventory. A major challenge for gamers is that these save files are version-specific; a .b file from the original PC release is often incompatible with the Steam version or mobile ports, requiring specialized "save converters" to migrate progress. Additionally, .b is used in legacy computing as a source code file for BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) or the esoteric programming language Brainfuck. While these code files are technically plain text, modern operating systems and IDEs often fail to recognize them, treating them as unknown binaries. For gamers, the goal is often converting these files for cross-platform compatibility or backup. For developers, the need is to convert .b scripts to standard TXT, C, or PDF formats for documentation, archiving, and easier editing in modern software like Visual Studio Code.
Convert.Guru analyzes your B file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted A, GAME, B1, SAVE, BAS, SAV, CBS, ASSETS, BIN, JPG, EXE, PDF and ASM files.
The B Converter Story
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 B converter.
