What is a BMZ file?

BMZ files mostly belong to Blinkenlights Music Player.

BMZ files are a type of compressed container that can hold different kinds of media. They are not limited to a single use, but rather serve several specialized roles.

They can be used as follows:

Video file format: Used by Blinkenlights Music Player, these files may include video content and even hold Game Boy Advance compressed data.
Compressed bitmap image archive: Created by Bonus Map Creator, this usage often employs ZIP compression to bundle bitmap images.
Compressed music data file: Developed with BMZ Converter, this form holds audio elements in a compressed structure.
Splash screen format: Also by BMZ Converter and BootScreen Maker, these files contain compressed bitmap images used during system or application startup.

Some BMZ files use ZIP as their underlying format, so you might be able to open them with a standard archive tool by simply renaming the extension to .zip.
For more details on conversion processes, see this webpage.

FilExt.com tip: If you have a BMZ file, use the software that originally created it or try an archive extractor after checking the file header to see if it follows a common compression standard.

Demon Stalkers: Raid on Doomfane
Demon Stalkers is a top-down action game released in 1987 on the Commodore 64, similar in style to Gauntlet. In this game the player controls one of 2 characters: (1) the boy, who throws daggers from an infinite supply, or (2) the girl, who fires a never-ending supply of crossbow bolts. There is also a two-player option where both characters explore the dungeon simultaneously. Related links: Wikipedia Demon Stalkers Page

BMZ format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below is our analysis of the BMZ files:

The BMZ file extension is rather rarely used and includes different formats for different programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in BMZ files:

25% of all BMZ files start with the magic bytes BM, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. BMZ files are between 160 KB and 2 MB in size. The file type was created 20 years ago but is still used today. The keywords 1(%5,)3*'8/,/&#3*&-$ ;2.2)%0'#3*&8,(6+'9-+/&# and oVvR:qR=lO are typical for these files. An example of a file name is tunn3l_v1s10n.bmz. These files are often associated with tunn and groupe.
20% of all BMZ files use the ZIP format, i.e. a BMZ file contains several compressed files. The average file count is 4 with most BMZ files containing between 1 - 30 compressed files. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. BMZ files can be up to 62 MB in size, but are often around 6 KB - 2 MB. A usual file name is Archive.bmz. Files like these are sometimes connected to floor, lums and trial.

The remaining 55% of all BMZ files are files with no common format, often, for example, SSCR. Sometimes used for tool, splash, mdexport, backup, screen, splashscreen, flash or logo. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your BMZ file!
