Retro Studios, a division of Nintendo, developed the games that use this format for Nintendo consoles. The dgrp file extension is therefore associated with game data rather than with a general-purpose archive application.
A dgrp file stores an archive of game data organized as a dependency group. It is one of the data files used by the relevant Retro Studios game and is normally read by the game itself.
The format is proprietary and is not generally used outside the original games. It remains relevant mainly when examining or modifying data from those games.
A dgrp file is intended to be read by the Retro Studios game that uses it, not opened as a document. Keep the file with the other files from its game and do not rename or edit it if the game needs it.
Examining or extracting one requires a tool made for the specific Retro Studios game and its data format.
It is a proprietary game-data archive, so a dgrp file normally remains in its original form for use by the associated game.
Game-specific tools may extract or modify its contents, but any exported data is dependent on the particular game and is not a general conversion of the dgrp file.
