About UINFO files

The .UINFO file format stores critical game universe metadata for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a popular video game developed by Retro Studios. These files contain parameters that govern level progression, world states, and global game variables. Users typically encounter these files when extracting game dumps for emulation on software like the Cemu Wii U emulator. The main disadvantage of the .UINFO format is its strictly proprietary nature. It is heavily locked down, undocumented, and completely incompatible with standard applications. Modders and data miners often want to convert these files into readable text or JSON formats to tweak game settings or analyze hidden mechanics. However, because it is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters completely fail to process it. Only custom-built scripts or the original game engine can properly parse the binary data structure. Our platform can inspect the raw file, reveal underlying text strings, and show internal content even when traditional conversion is impossible.

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