About CB2 files

The .CB2 file format functions as a game save file for CrossCode, a fast-paced 2D action RPG developed by Radical Fish Games. These files store your character's progression, inventory items, stats, and specific world triggers. Typically, they are generated and managed directly by the CrossCode application. The main disadvantage of the .CB2 format is its rigid, proprietary structure. It relies on internal encoding intended solely for the game engine. You cannot easily open these files in a standard text editor, and altering them without specialized tools usually corrupts the save data entirely. Players often try to edit these files to recover lost progress, modify stats, or port saves between different operating systems. If you want to read or modify the data safely, your best target formats are JSON or XML. Converting a .CB2 file to these structured text formats makes the attributes readable, though you must still decipher the variable names used by the developers. This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary container. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the specific parsing logic required to read the raw data. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CB2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted SCG, FCB and BL files.
