Extract text from Game archive files (DATA_1)
To convert DATA_1 archives to another format, you need Pro Evolution Soccer or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like Pro Evolution Soccer or a similar tool.
The .data_1 file is a proprietary game asset archive used primarily by Pro Evolution Soccer, developed by Konami. These files function as large data containers that store crucial game elements like 3D player models, stadium textures, audio commentary, and configuration settings.
Because .data_1 files are closed, proprietary archives, they possess significant disadvantages outside the game environment. They are completely unreadable by standard operating systems or file browsers, and they often exceed several gigabytes in size. Users cannot natively edit or preview the contents, making them a frustrating hurdle for game modders or analysts trying to recover media.
The most common conversion targets involve extracting the internal assets to standard media formats. Unpacking the archive typically yields formats like DDS or PNG for textures, OBJ for 3D models, and MP3 or WAV for audio. However, standard online converters fail to process .data_1 files because they lack the specific decryption keys or proprietary unpacking algorithms required by the game's engine.
This format is notoriously difficult to interact with because only the original software or specialized community modding tools can properly read or export the data. We can analyze the file header to identify internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DATA_1 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DATA_2, INDEX, DATA_0, CACHE, LOG, LDB, COL, KDT and BCH files.
If you want to convert DATA_1 file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Pro Evolution Soccer or similar software from the "Game Asset Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to DATA_1, try Pro Evolution Soccer or another comparable tool in the "Game Asset Archive" 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 DATA_1 converter.
