What is an SS2 file?

SS2 files mostly belong to CRI Middleware ADX2.

SS2 files come in several forms. The most common use is as Sound Stream 2 audio files managed by CRI Middleware ADX2. These files store audio streams, often used in video games and multimedia projects.
They are also used in bioinformatics. In this case, a SS2 file contains data for protein secondary structure prediction and is handled by software like PSIPRED. More details can be found at the PSIPRED webpage.
Additionally, some SS2 files serve as spreadsheet files for Spread for Windows, holding tabular data. A minor share is linked to image files encoded using JFIF, a standard for JPEG images, typically processed in Adobe Photoshop or viewed with XnViewMP.
To decide which software to use, check the file's content or header. Each use case employs specialized data structures for its field.

SS2 file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the SS2 files:

SS2 is rarely used as a file extension and includes various formats for various programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in SS2 files:

25% of all SS2 files start with the magic bytes SShd, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are on average 5 MB in size and range from 4 KB to 17 MB. It is a modern file type. The keywords SShd and SSbd are typical for these files.
20% of all SS2 files start with the bytes # PSIPRED VFORMAT (PSIPRED V4.0) 1 , which are crucial for this file format. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are 2 KB to 26 KB in size, with a median of 13 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as # PSIPRED VFORMAT (PSIPRED V4.0), 999 0, 1 M C 0 and 001 0.

The remaining 55% of all SS2 files are different files with different signatures, frequently e.g. JFIF and ZIP. Tagged as spread. You can get all the details of your SS2 file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .ss2 file to analyze" above.
