What is a .ARDUBOY file?

An .ARDUBOY file is a type of game package specifically designed for use with the Arduboy gaming platform, which is a small, open-source 8-bit handheld gaming system. This file extension represents a complete game package that includes several important components: 1. **Compiled Game**: This is the actual game file that has been compiled into a format that the Arduboy device can run. 2. **Banner Image**: Each .ARDUBOY file includes a banner image with dimensions of 700 pixels wide by 192 pixels high. This image is typically used to represent the game visually within the game loader or menu. 3. **Screenshots**: The package also contains one or more screenshots of the game. These screenshots are each 128 pixels wide by 64 pixels high, providing a preview of what the game looks like. 4. **.JSON File (info.json)**: This is a metadata file that contains important information about the game. It includes details such as the game's title, its version number, the author's name, and configuration information for the game's controls (button setup).

To open an .ARDUBOY file, you would typically use a program designed to manage or load these game packages onto the Arduboy device. Some of the programs that can open these files include: - **Team A.R.G. Game Loader**: This is a software tool used to load .ARDUBOY files onto the Arduboy device. It helps users install and manage their game files. - **Arduboy Manager**: Although this program is now discontinued, it was previously used for managing and transferring Arduboy game files.

Since some of these programs might be discontinued, it's important for users to look for current alternatives or community-supported tools that can handle .ARDUBOY files. These tools are essential for anyone looking to play custom or third-party games on their Arduboy device.
