[[Category:File formats]]

'''BMG''' is a file format used to hold text in SMG1. This was replaced by the [[MSBT]] file format in SMG2. Unlike the messages in SMG2, SMG1 uses a single, region specific BMG file (Region/message.arc/message.bmg) to hold ''ALL'' text.

= Format Specifications =
Below you'll find helpful tables on how the file is structured.

'''THIS IS SPECIFIC TO SMG1/3D All Stars. Other games that use BMG might be different!'''

''All Char[] types are in ASCII encoding.''

= Tools =
The following tools can handle SMG1's BMG (some may have 3D All Stars support, but most don't.)
* [http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Wiimms_SZS_Tools Wiimms SZS Tools (wbmgt)] (Can convert a BMG to a TXT file. High chance of crashing if you edit with this.)
* [https://github.com/ZyphronG/Tomato Tomato] (Can convert a BMG + the [[BCSV|TBL]] file to a XML file and vise versa. '''Has 3D All Stars Support''')
