Extract text from Game level files (STAGE)
To convert STAGE Levels to another format, you need M.U.G.E.N or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Level & Mod File" file type, you need software like M.U.G.E.N or a similar tool.
The .stage file extension serves two primary purposes in gaming communities. First, it is widely used as a stage data file for 2D fighting game engines like M.U.G.E.N and Terrordrome. In this context, the file defines the layout, collision boundaries, and background animations of a fighting arena. Second, the .stage format is used as a game mod package for the PC versions of the Insomniac Games Spider-Man series.
The primary disadvantage of fighting game .stage files is their highly proprietary nature. They are bound to a specific game engine and cannot be opened natively by your operating system. Furthermore, M.U.G.E.N stages often require companion files like SFF (sprites) and SND (audio) to function. Because there is no universal structure for game engine logic, standard online converters fail to process them.
In contrast, Spider-Man .stage mod files are simply renamed ZIP archives. The main frustration here is that the custom extension prevents web browsers and standard file archivers from recognizing the package. Users are forced to download specific third-party modding tools or manually alter file extensions to access the data.
Because of these closed environments, standard tools are useless. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view its structure, and convert it when possible. Our analysis can detect if your file is actually a hidden ZIP archive. If supported, you can safely extract the embedded 3D models, textures, or text configuration data directly in your browser without installing risky mod managers.
Convert.Guru analyzes your STAGE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MSWMM, PWL and SDW files.
If you want to convert STAGE file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use M.U.G.E.N or similar software from the "Game Level & Mod Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to STAGE, try M.U.G.E.N or another comparable tool in the "Game Level & Mod Data" 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 STAGE converter.
