.AMB File Extension

File created by All My Books, a personal book organizer for Windows; saves a catalog of information about both hard copy books and eBook files (e.g., .MOBI, .AZW, .PRC, .FB2, .LRF, etc.); used for keeping an inventory of personal book collections.

All My Books can retrieve information from online databases in order to automatically populate AMB files.

NOTE: AMB files are saved in the .MDB (Microsoft Access) format.

An AMB file is a game data file used by Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I or II. It contains some combination of game assets, such as textures, level layouts, and character models. AMB files do not, however, contain any of the games' audio files.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is a two-part video game, whose two episodes were released in 2010 and 2012. It is a 2D, side-scrolling game in which Sonic teams with Tails and Knuckles to battle Doctor Eggman and Metal Sonic.

Most versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I and II store many of their game assets in AMB files. While most players will never encounter the games' AMB files, modders and other players interested in examining Sonic the Hedgehog 4's assets may wish to extract those assets from the games' AMB files.

You can use the AMBPatcher tool included in Sonic 4 Mod Manager (Windows) to extract assets from and repackage AMB files. You can also use AMBextract (cross-platform) to extract assets from AMB files.

Model created with AIMMS (Advanced Integrated Multidimensional Modeling Software); contains identifier declarations, procedures, and functions that make up the core of the model; based on the proprietary AIMMS modeling language.

AMB files are saved along with an associated AIMMS project (.PRJ) file. A text version of an AIMMS model file can be exported as a .AIM file.
