Extract text from Yu-Gi-Oh! game archives (EHP)
To convert EHP archives to another format, you need Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data Archive" file type, you need software like Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force or a similar tool.
The .EHP file extension represents a proprietary game data archive used primarily by Konami in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series, including Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4. These files act as containers, packing thousands of individual game assets - such as 2D card textures, 3D character models, audio tracks, and game scripts - into a single file to optimize disk space and loading times on consoles like the PlayStation Portable (PSP).
Because .EHP is a closed, proprietary format, it comes with severe limitations for end-users. You cannot open it with standard archive managers like 7-Zip or WinRAR. Modders and data miners face massive roadblocks because extracting the contents requires custom-built community scripts or reverse-engineering tools. The format actively prevents quick modding, requiring a deep understanding of the proprietary file allocation tables used by the game engine.
Users typically want to convert or unpack .EHP files to access the raw assets inside. The best conversion targets are standard archive formats like ZIP, which can house extracted media such as PNG (for card artwork) or WAV (for sounds). However, extracting these files often results in a total loss of game-specific metadata, meaning the unpacked files cannot easily be repacked to run in the original game environment.
This file format is incredibly difficult to open or convert online. Usually, only the original game engine can properly parse the internal file tables and extract the data. Standard online converters fail to process it. Despite these challenges, convert.guru offers a pragmatic solution. Drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. Our platform can inspect the hex data, show plain text strings, and if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EHP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TAD, TLV and VPB files.
