What is a B00 file

B00 files mostly belong to HJSplit. B00 files are used as parts of split multi-volume archives and specialized data sets. Their design is not uniform; rather, they appear in different contexts. For example,

Archive Segments: They often serve as the first segment of a split archive. Tools such as HJSplit or WinRAR create these parts, and the file must be reassembled with its corresponding segments (for example, .B01, .B02, etc.) to access the full data.

Game Data Files: In some cases, a B00 file contains PlayStation 2 game data. This file is one piece of a complete game archive, which is split for easier handling.

Executable Files: A subset of B00 files carry an internal ELF header, meaning they follow the Executable and Linkable Format. This indicates that they can be part of programs or associated libraries. More details can be found at this page.

Process Data Files: Some B00 files are tied to industrial systems such as ABB Compact HMI. These files are segments of data used for process control; additional information is available at ABB Global.

FilExt.com note: If you have a B00 file, it is best not to open it in isolation. Instead, use appropriate archiving software to reassemble it with its matching parts.

How can I open a B00 file?

You need a suitable software like HJSplit to open a B00 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 B00 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a B00 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert B00 files:

HJSplit
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. B00 files are often referred to as HJSplit data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Archiving/Splitting Software (e.g., HJSplit, WinRAR, 7-Zip)
A *.B00 file is a generic file extension commonly used to denote a part of a split multi-volume archive. These files are not typically stand-alone and require the other parts (e.g., *.B01, *.B02, etc.) and often a coordinating file (e.g., *.RAR, *.ZIP, *.001) for reconstruction into the original, single, larger file. The internal format of a *.B00 file is dependent on the archiving software used to split the original file. Therefore, it can contain any type of data, from simple text files to complex application data or multimedia content. The *.B00 extension itself does not specify the content, only its role as a segment within a larger set. This file format is classified as Compressed/Archive File.

B00 format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our analysis of the B00 files produces the following result:

B00 is not a commonly used file extension and includes various formats for various programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

25% of all B00 files belong to Electone Registrations. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. B00 files can be up to 380 KB in size, but are often around 14 KB - 270 KB. The file type was used 20 years ago. The file name REG_001.B00 or Mdr_00.b00 is characteristic of these files.
15% of all B00 files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "D2 02 C2 00 2C 6D F2 A3" at the beginning. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are 70 MB to 1 GB in size, with a median of 70 MB. A common filename is PRO.EVOLUTION.SOCCER 6.B00.

The remaining 60% of all B00 files are files with no common format, frequently e.g. ELF and GZIP. Files like these are sometimes linked to anlgsm, nfscarbon, cmnlib or anlg. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your B00 file!
