Extract text from Game assets and configs (JMA)
To convert JMA Game assets to another format, you need X-Mouse Button Control or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Archive & Configuration" file type, you need software like X-Mouse Button Control or a similar tool.
The .JMA file extension primarily functions as a proprietary game asset archive for titles like Jazz Jackrabbit and Jump King, or as a hardware-specific gaming mouse configuration file managed by utilities like X-Mouse Button Control. These files store bundled media assets or complex hardware macros and keybindings.
The major disadvantage of the .JMA format is its heavily siloed nature. It is a closed, proprietary file type that lacks standardized encoding. Game archives deliberately lock away sprites, levels, and audio to prevent user tampering. Similarly, mouse configuration files are often saved in raw binary, making them completely unreadable in standard text editors or unsupported by modern web browsers.
Standard online converters routinely fail to process .JMA files because they do not recognize the proprietary compression algorithms or binary structures. If you need to access the data, extracting the contents to ZIP for game assets, or converting macro settings to XML or TXT, are the most practical goals. However, this usually requires specialized modding software or the exact original OEM driver. Our platform will inspect the binary content, detect any readable text strings or embedded formats, and give you a realistic path forward for extracting your data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JMA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GANI, SPL and SKA files.
If you want to convert JMA file to EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP, SAV or DAT, you can use X-Mouse Button Control or similar software from the "Game Assets & Mouse Macros" 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 JMA, try X-Mouse Button Control or another comparable tool in the "Game Assets & Mouse Macros" 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 JMA converter.
