About GENH Files

A .genh file is an audio file saved in the Generic Binary Header (GENH) format, a flexible music file type used in video games. GENH files store high-quality audio data and include a small header that describes how the audio is formatted, allowing tools and emulators to interpret the data correctly. The format supports looping and multiple audio channels, making it suitable for background music and in-game soundtracks.

GENH files are commonly used in Nintendo and other console games where developers extracted or converted original audio tracks into a standardized format for emulators or mods. They are often found in fan-created game archives, extracted from original discs, or distributed as standalone files for playback, and are popular among video game modders, emulation enthusiasts, and soundtrack collectors who want to preserve or convert game audio.

Converting GENH Files

You can convert .genh files to other formats to improve compatibility:

• Converting to MP3: Converts the GENH audio to a format playable on nearly all devices and media players, though it applies additional lossy compression that slightly reduces audio quality compared to the original file.
• Converting to AAC: Provides efficient compression and good sound quality, producing smaller files than MP3 while maintaining compatibility with most modern devices and streaming platforms.
