Extract text from NBA 2K career saves (CMG)
To convert CMG save files to another format, you need NBA 2K or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Save File" file type, you need software like NBA 2K or a similar tool.
The .CMG file format is most commonly encountered as an NBA 2K Career Save File. Created and maintained by 2K Sports, these proprietary files store a player's campaign progress, character attributes, and storyline decisions for the MyCareer mode across various console and PC releases. Secondary applications of the .CMG extension include acoustic measurement campaign files recorded by 01dB-Metravib Solo hardware, saved game files for the classic Chessmaster series, and internal Windows typing history and clipboard manager files managed by the TextInputServer.
The primary disadvantage of the .CMG format is its heavily closed, proprietary nature. These files are typically compiled as serialized binaries and are often encrypted or compressed to prevent cheating. They cannot be opened in a web browser, lack public documentation, and require specific software versions to function correctly. A user might seek to open a .CMG file to edit their in-game stats, recover a corrupted save file, or extract valuable acoustic measurement data into a readable format for statistical analysis.
Standard online converters routinely fail to process .CMG files because they lack the specific decryption keys or structural schemas required to parse the binary blob. Usually, only the original game engine, dedicated hardware software, or community-developed hexadecimal save editors can properly read or export the data. Our platform will perform a deep structural analysis of your .CMG file. If the file contains unencrypted string data or embedded generic formats, you may be able to extract that information into readable TXT or JSON targets for further inspection.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CMG 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 CMG converter.
