Extract text from configuration and game images (CCI)
To convert CCI game images to another format, you need Hexagon PPM or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration or Disk Image" file type, you need software like Hexagon PPM or a similar tool.
The .CCI file format is highly fragmented, typically serving either as a Client Configuration Information file for enterprise software by Hexagon PPM or as a compressed cartridge/disk image for gaming emulators like Citra (Nintendo 3DS) and Cerbios (Original Xbox).
When used as a configuration file, the data is usually structured in JSON, making it somewhat accessible but tightly bound to proprietary Hexagon environments. When used as a game image, the format becomes much more cumbersome. A .CCI emulator file can easily exceed several gigabytes. Because these are specialized compressed images - such as the CTR Cartridge Image for 3DS or the Cerbios Compressed ISO - they cannot be natively mounted by Windows or macOS like a standard ISO file. Users often download these files hoping to play them on original console hardware, only to discover that the .CCI format is not recognized outside of specific emulators.
To solve these compatibility roadblocks, conversion is usually required. For configuration data, extracting or converting the file to standard JSON or XML ensures it can be parsed by modern text editors or web tools. For gaming and archiving, converting a .CCI file to a standard ISO (for Xbox) or an installable CIA file (for 3DS hardware) is essential.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CCI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CIA, 3DS, CXI, 7Z, GAME, ROM, ZIP, NDS, XCI, RVZ, PKG, PKPASS and TORRENT files.

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 CCI converter.
