Extract text from PlayStation save files (GME)
To convert GME save files to another format, you need ePSXe or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Save File" file type, you need software like ePSXe or a similar tool.
The .GME file extension is most commonly associated with PlayStation memory card dumps or interactive pen data for the Ravensburger tiptoi system. Originally created by the DexDrive hardware accessory by InterAct, .GME files contain raw, 1MB byte-for-byte copies of classic PlayStation 1 memory cards. These files store 15 blocks of game save data. Emulators like ePSXe use this format to load virtual memory cards.
Alternatively, a .GME file acts as the primary data package for the Ravensburger tiptoi educational smart pen. In this context, it stores proprietary compiled scripts, game logic, and audio files that the pen reads using an optical sensor. Rarely, the extension is also used for legacy GunBound game executable files or Game Maker text adventures.
Users typically need to convert .GME PlayStation saves because the DexDrive format is outdated. Modern emulator frontends like RetroArch often require standard MCR or SRM files. The main disadvantage of the .GME format is its proprietary, binary nature. It is heavily tied to legacy software and specific hardware interfaces. Tiptoi .GME files are entirely closed and encrypted, making them impossible to open without reverse-engineering software like tttool, which extracts the internal OGG audio files.
Because this is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters fail to process it. They expect standard documents or images, not raw hexadecimal memory dumps or compiled smart-pen firmware. If our analysis detects a supported underlying structure, we will present the best extraction or conversion options.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GME file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MCR, MCD, MCS, SRM, PSV, GAME, ZIP, MCB, VMP, BIN, CUE, TXT and XAPK files.
If you want to convert GME file to MCD, MCR, SRM, PSV, MCS, SAV, VMP, EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE or PAK, you can use ePSXe or similar software from the "PlayStation Memory Card Dump" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to GME, try ePSXe or another comparable tool in the "PlayStation Memory Card Dump" 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 GME converter.
