What is a TXBN file?
A TXBN file is a game data file used by various video games, including Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, Luigi's Mansion Arcade, and Initial D Arcade Stage Zero. It contains information about a portion of a game's in-game text and how it should appear. Users are most likely to encounter TXBN files packaged within dumps of games that use the TXBN format.
More Information
TXBN files are similar to Nintendo console games' .MSBT files. Each game includes multiple versions of its TXBN files, which are localized for different regions. Additionally, each language's TXBN files are saved in their separate folders.
Most TXBN files contain only binary data, which a game translates into in-game text. However, some TXBN files contain binary and plain text data.
How to open a TXBN file
TXBN files are not meant to be opened. Instead, the game references them to load the information they store.
However, you can use tools developed by gaming enthusiasts to transform the binary data that TXBN files contain into readable text. For example, the Mario Kart Arcade GP DX text tool (Windows) transforms the data that Mario Kart Arcade GP DX's TXBN files contain into readable text. A similar tool, called the Luigi's Mansion Arcade text tool (Windows), exists to convert that game's TXBN files into readable text.
