How to open a DMB file
You need a suitable software like DataMan Setup Tool to open a DMB file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DMB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DMB file directly in the browser:.

DMB file format:
Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the DMB files is as follows:
The DMB file extension is rather rarely used and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The following file formats are most commonly found in DMB files:
- 55% of all DMB files are based on the zip format, that is, a DMB file includes multiple compressed files. Such a ZIP file contains 3 to 13 files with names like backup.cdc, config.cfg and descriptor.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. A typical file size is 210 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. config.cfg. These files are often associated with master, config, scanner, scale, verify, left, reader, configuration, primary, backup, cognex, smart and data.
- 8% of all DMB files are associated with BYOND game byte-code executable. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The files are 220 bytes to 3 MB in size, with a median of 990 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as compatibility and world. Such files sometimes refer to dragonball.
The remaining 37% of all DMB files are files with no common format, often e.g. MP4 and zbsharewarelog. The category is heart or geom. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your DMB file!
