Format details
BIN is basically a raw copy of PC screen memory, with each character encoded as two bytes in the usual PC way: one for the character code, followed by one for the attributes. There are usually 160 characters (320 bytes) per line. Some BIN files have a SAUCE metadata segment at the end of the file, which may specify a different number of characters per line.
Software
- FFmpeg (codec named "bintext")
- Ansilove/PHP
- AnsiLove/C
