To open these files, you typically need to have BeatMania installed on your PC. More info about the game can be found on the official Konami website.

Bitstream Fontware Files

BME files can also be associated with Bitstream Fontware. In this context, BME files store font related data. These files are proprietary and thus can only be opened using specific software. Bitstream Inc., the company that developed this software, was acquired by Monotype Imaging in 2012. More information about Bitstream Fontware can be found on the Monotype Imaging website.

BME File Important Information

While dealing with BME files, it's crucial to remember that these files are not typical media or data files. A BeatMania BME file won't hold any playable music, and a Bitstream Fontware BME file won't hold any visible characters. Each is specific to its respective software and may not function as expected if used improperly. Always be sure to back up your original BME files before attempting to open or edit them using unofficial tools. When in doubt, reach out to the developer's official support channel for further guidance.
