What is an SMC file

SMC files mostly belong to ZSNES by ZSNES Team. An SMC file is a disk image extracted from a Super Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge. It contains an exact copy of all data saved on the video game cartridge. Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulators such as ZSNES can mount and run an SMC file. Another type of SMC file is a 3D architectural model saved by Solibri Model Checker. This file is actually a ZIP archive with a different filename extension. SMC is also the filename extension of the downward trend chart file created by Plaxis 3D geotechnical engineering software for the earthquake analysis of a building.

How do you open SMC files?

You need a suitable software like ZSNES to open an SMC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SMC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SMC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SMC format details:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the SMC files comes to the following conclusion:

The SMC file extension is used by different programs with different formats. However, the following two file formats are common:

• 25% of all SMC files use ZIP compression, so several files are combined and compressed into one SMC file. The included 2 to 3 files have file names such as com.solibri.saf.plugins.hyperlinkplugin. If you want to see the included files and images, simply rename the file extension to .zip and double-click it. The average file size is 73 MB with most files being between 4 MB and 280 MB in size. These files are attributed to samlemodell, sammenstilt and model.
• 5% of all SMC files use the same file format, which have the signature 80 00. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. Most of these files are 1 MB to 1 MB in size. Such files sometimes refer to zelda and legend.

The remaining 70% of all SMC files are different files with different signatures, the following 13 formats exist: Super Nintendo game - ROM Image, XML, zlib, Java, OFFSET, SMC and UNCORRECTED. Often described as super, mario, world, kong, country or donkey. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your SMC file!

How to solve problems with SMC files

• Associate the SMC file extension with the correct application.
• Update your software that should actually open game rom images. Because only the current version supports the latest SMC file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the ZSNES Team manufacturer website after an available ZSNES update.
• To make sure that your SMC file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
