What is a ROS file?

ROS files mostly belong to Cricket 2007 by Electronic Arts. A ROS file contains a roster used by various video games. Cricket 2007, for instance, uses a ROS file to save a roster of players in cricket league. Madden football video game uses a roster saved in a different ROS format. BattleScribe, a cross-platform army list editor uses a ROS file to save an army roster. Another type of ROS file is the firmware of the SG200 network switch manufactured by Cisco. Notes email, contacts management, messaging, and microblogging software client saves a full text index in a different ROS file.

How to open a ROS file

You need a suitable software like Cricket 2007 to open a ROS 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 ROS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ROS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

ROS file extension format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit 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. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our analysis of the ROS files produces the following result:

As a file extension, ROS isn't very common and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

20% of all ROS files start with the bytes 20CM, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. Most of these files are 210 KB to 620 KB in size. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. A common filename is CWC15.ros.
15% of all ROS files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "CI0" at the beginning. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The average file size is 7 MB with most files being between 6 MB and 7 MB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as DATETIME_C, RSCODE, VER_COMP, DYNAMIC, CI042.00P, 8PACK and 1.4.11.5. The file name sx200_fw-14115.ros or sx200_fw-14112.ros is typical for these files.

All other ROS files (65%) have no consistent format, often e.g. CON. The category is entity. If you want to find out what your ROS file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
