Extract text from BizHawk TAStudio projects (TASPROJ)
To convert TASPROJ projects to another format, you need BizHawk or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Emulator Project File" file type, you need software like BizHawk or a similar tool.
A .tasproj file is a BizHawk TAStudio Project used to create Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS). This file stores emulator input logs, savestates, annotations, and project settings required to replay a game with frame-perfect precision.
The primary software used to open and edit these files is BizHawk, a robust multi-system emulator maintained by contributors at TASVideos.
The main disadvantage of the .tasproj format is that it is highly proprietary and tightly coupled with specific game ROM hashes and emulator core versions. If you lack the exact game ROM or attempt to load the project in a different emulator, the file is practically useless. Furthermore, standard online converters cannot process these files because they do not contain raw video or standard text; they only contain a historical log of controller inputs and memory state data.
Users often want to convert .tasproj files to standard video formats like MP4 or MKV to share speedruns, or export them to standard BizHawk movie files (BK2). Exporting to video requires frame-by-frame rendering inside the emulator itself.
Because this is a complex, closed project format, standard conversion tools fail. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TASPROJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TASPROJ file to , you can use BizHawk or similar software from the "Tool-Assisted Speedrun Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to TASPROJ, try BizHawk or another comparable tool in the "Tool-Assisted Speedrun Project" 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 TASPROJ converter.
