Hello everyone! 👋
We’re excited to introduce the iGameGod File Browser & Editor, a powerful in-game tool that lets you browse, edit, import, export and back up files inside the game you’re currently running, all without leaving the game!
Whether you want to edit a configuration file, inspect game data, export a file or back up your game saves, you can now do it directly through iGameGod.
How to Open the File Browser
The File Browser is available alongside other iGameGod tools such as the Memory Engine, Speed Manager, Live Offset Patcher, Disassembler and App Reset & Spoof.
Tap the iGameGod icon inside your game.
Select File Browser from the Tools menu.
The File Browser will open immediately. If you close its card, tap the folder button on the floating hover controls to open it again.
File Browser Features
Browse the game’s complete sandbox and modify files wherever iOS permissions allow.
Quickly jump between common locations: Game Folder, Documents, Library, Caches, Temporary and App Bundle.
Edit supported files using the built-in text editor with syntax highlighting.
Inspect and modify binary files using the built-in hex editor.
View images with a built-in viewer that supports pinch-to-zoom.
Import files from the Files app, iCloud Drive or any other location available through the iOS document picker.
Export files using the iOS share sheet.
Back up and restore supported game save data with one tap.
Browsing Files & Folders
The File Browser is designed to make navigating large game folders fast and easy:
Folders are shown first, followed by files. Everything is sorted alphabetically without being affected by uppercase or lowercase letters.
Each row displays the file name, type, size and last modified date.
Files with limited permissions are clearly marked as Read Only or Not Readable.
Color-coded icons help you quickly recognize folders, images, videos, audio files, archives, JSON and plist files, source code, shell scripts, configuration files, databases and plain text files.
Large folders load in smaller groups as you scroll, keeping the browser smooth even when a folder contains thousands of files.
Pull down on the file list to refresh the current folder.
The full path of your current folder is always displayed at the bottom of the card.
The File Browser remembers your previous location and folder history, allowing you to continue where you left off the next time you open it.
Finding Files
Tap the magnifying glass to filter the current folder by file or folder name.
Searches are not affected by uppercase letters, lowercase letters or accents. The magnifying glass turns blue while a filter is active, so you’ll always know when you’re viewing filtered results.
To display everything again, tap the magnifying glass and select Clear.
Working with Files
There are several ways to interact with files and folders:
Tap: Opens a folder, displays an image or opens a supported text file in the editor. Other file types will open the actions menu.
Swipe left: Displays quick actions for deleting, exporting or editing the selected file. Binary files will display a Hex option instead.
Long-press: Opens the complete actions menu for the selected file or folder.
Action
What It Does
Open / View Image
Opens folders or displays supported images in the image viewer.
Edit / Open as Text
Opens any file up to 5 MB in the text editor, even if it does not use a recognized text extension.
Edit as Hex
Opens binary files up to 1 MB in the built-in hex editor.
Export
Exports the selected file through the iOS share sheet.
Rename
Renames the selected file or folder. Invalid names containing / or path manipulation tricks are automatically rejected.
Delete
Deletes the selected file or folder after asking for confirmation.
Built-In Text & Hex Editors
Text-like files open directly in the built-in editor, where you can make changes and save them back to their original location. Syntax highlighting makes supported configuration files, source code and structured data easier to read.
Files without a recognized text extension can also be opened as text, provided they are no larger than 5 MB.
Binary files can be viewed and modified using the built-in hex editor when they are no larger than 1 MB.
Importing & Exporting Files
Use Import to bring files into the current game folder from the Files app, iCloud Drive or another location available through the iOS document picker.
Use Export to send a file to the Files app, AirDrop, another app or any other destination available through the iOS share sheet.
Backing Up & Restoring Game Saves
The File Browser includes Backup Saves and Restore Saves options for supported game save data.
Use Backup Saves before modifying important files or testing changes. If something goes wrong, use Restore Saves to restore your backed-up save data.
IMPORTANT Editing, renaming or deleting the wrong files may cause the game to stop working correctly or result in lost progress. We strongly recommend backing up your saves before making changes.
