To convert other file formats to the "Console System Module" file type, you need software like PCSX2 or a similar tool.
About IRX files
The .irx file extension primarily represents a PlayStation 2 IOP (Input/Output Processor) Module. Game developers use these files to control hardware functions like audio, gamepads, and memory cards on the PS2 console. Alternatively, about 6% of .irx files are application security scan results generated by HCL AppScan, while a smaller fraction act as CAD runtime extensions for AutoCAD or raster image indexes. Users typically encounter these files when modifying PS2 emulators like PCSX2, analyzing security vulnerabilities, or managing specific CAD environments. The main disadvantage of the .irx format is its highly proprietary nature. PS2 modules are compiled ELF executables that cannot be directly edited without specialized reverse-engineering tools. AppScan files are locked-down scan results requiring expensive enterprise software to view natively. Standard online converters fail with .irx files because they are not standard documents or media files. You cannot simply convert a PS2 system module to a PDF or JPG. If you need to view AppScan data, your best target format is ZIP, as the file is essentially a compressed archive containing XML data. For image index files, conversion to a standard TIFF or PNG might be viable. This file format is difficult to open or convert because the data is either compiled machine code or proprietary software output. Often, only the original software (like an emulator, AppScan, or AutoCAD) can properly read or export the data. We can inspect the file and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like a standard ZIP or TIFF structure, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your IRX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert IRX file to DLL, SO, DYLIB, BUNDLE, PLUGIN, XPI, CRX, SAFARIEXTZ, APPEX, KEXT, SYS or DRV, you can use PCSX2 or similar software from the "PlayStation 2 System Module" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert LV2, DYLIB, VST, AAX, DRV, TDE, LADSPA, BUNDLE, AU, DLL, RTAS or SO files to IRX, try PCSX2 or another comparable tool in the "PlayStation 2 System Module" category.
The IRX Converter Story
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 IRX converter.
