What is an S14 file

S14 files mostly belong to Game Engine. S14 files are internal game data files used by specific game engines. They hold structured data that the game reads to load elements like car configurations and saved game scenarios.
Key uses include:

Race car data for titles such as F1 Challenge 99-02 and saved game details in Grand Prix 4, which are linked to products from F1 2022 and Grand Prix Manager 2.

Scenario and configuration data in strategy games such as Dynasty Warriors 2 and in titles from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, connected with Koei Tecmo.

These files use a proprietary, often binary format designed for fast I/O operations by the respective game applications.
FilExt.com note: To open or view these files, you should use the original game software or a specialized binary file editor. For more on the racing version, visit the official Formula 1 website, and for details on the strategy game scenario, check out Koei Tecmo.

S14 format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the S14 files:

S14 is not a common file extension and includes different formats for the applicable programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

25% of all S14 files start with the magic bytes 69 8A 62 2D 3A 92 F6 DF F0 BC A4 97 4C 46 40 02, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. A typical file size is 94 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as Laq.pu, kkJ> and t;eX_O.
10% of all S14 files use the same file format, which have the signature 1F 00 00 00. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. S14 files can be up to 230 KB in size, but are often around 100 KB - 220 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as SN14SCN_VER0001. These files are often associated with sceda.
