Extract text from game files (TBM)
To convert TBM files to another format, you need Audition Online or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Data File" file type, you need software like Audition Online or a similar tool.
A .tbm file is primarily a proprietary game data file used by the rhythm game Audition Online to store music track data and beatmap synchronization information. A secondary use for the .tbm extension is as a mod file for the physics-based fighting game Toribash by Nabi Studios. In rare, legacy hardware cases, it functions as a UI bitmap image for Thomson set-top boxes.
The main disadvantage of the .tbm format is its heavily restricted, closed-source nature. It is not a standard audio or image format. You cannot open it directly in standard media players, and it requires the specific game engine to function. Developers intentionally use proprietary containers like this so users cannot easily alter or pirate the game's music or interface assets. Standard online converters fail to process .tbm files because they look for standard file headers, which are usually obfuscated or wrapped inside the proprietary .tbm container.
Users typically want to extract the internal audio to standard formats like MP3 or OGG, or convert the Thomson UI graphics to PNG or JPG. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format inside the .tbm container, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TBM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ABM, TMB, PTX, PSN and MP3 files.
If you want to convert TBM file to MP3, EXE, ISO, BIN, CUE, PAK, WAD, PK3, PK4, BSP, MAP or SAV, you can use Audition Online or similar software from the "Game Music and Mod Data" 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 TBM, try Audition Online or another comparable tool in the "Game Music and 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 TBM converter.
