About RXDATA files

The .RXDATA file extension is a proprietary data container used primarily by RPG Maker XP, a game development engine created by Enterbrain. These files store critical game assets, including map layouts, character stats, enemy attributes, event triggers, and Ruby scripts. The format relies on serialized Ruby objects generated via the Marshal.dump function. Opening or editing .RXDATA files outside the engine is highly problematic. They are proprietary, closed-binary formats. Standard text editors display gibberish, and web browsers do not support them. Users often need to convert these files to migrate old game projects, recover lost scripts, or edit bulk data outside the engine constraint. The most useful conversion targets for .RXDATA are structured data formats like JSON or XML for database entries, or TXT for extracting Ruby scripts. Because this is a closed, proprietary format, it is notoriously difficult to open or convert without the original software. Standard online converters fail to parse them because they lack the specific Ruby environment required for deserialization. Often, only RPG Maker XP can properly read or export the data. Our analyzer can inspect the file, detect the underlying Ruby serialization, and extract readable text or embedded scripts when supported.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RXDATA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted RB, DAT, TXT, RGSSAD, JSON, RPGSAVE, ZIP, RVDATA2, TSX, WIN, ASPX, PCAPNG and INDD files.

The RXDATA 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 RXDATA converter.
