mosascii m2 (and MosASCII Graphics Library) by Robert DeFusco
mosascii m2 is an application that converts an image into an HTML mosaic made out of ASCII characters. The HTML mosaics look just like the original image except they are created out of colored ASCII characters. Mosascii m2 is freeware. MGL files contain graphics library images for loading into mosascii m2. Identifying Characters: MGL followed by a 2 digit version identifier (i.e. MGL11 identifies the file as a version 1.1 mosascii m2 Graphics Library file).

MGL file format:

To view or edit MGL files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the MGL files:

MGL is not a common file extension and has no uniform or dominant file format. But the following two file formats are common:

9% of all MGL files belong to MiSTer Game Launcher. The files are using the common file format XML. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The file size is in the range of 190 bytes to 300 bytes. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <file delay="0", mistergamedescription, <rbf>_computer/ao486</rbf>, media, path and type="s" index="2". Such files sometimes refer to putt.

All the rest of the MGL files (91%) have different formats. The category is game, recorded, grabada or mega. You can get all the details of your MGL file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .mgl file to analyze" above.
