The .b files are used to save vital game information in GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. Their inner structures differ from game to game, although the common pattern remains the same in whole. They are created by the game when the player chooses one of the eight save slots in the 'Save game' menu. The player can not name the file on his own, the only thing that could vary in the .b file name is the save slot number.

The following pattern is used to name the save files: <game_short_title>sf<game_slot_number>.b. For example the GTASAsf3.b file name tells that this save was made in GTA San Andreas and it will appear in the third slot of the 'Load game' menu.
