The SMC file extension is associated with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), a 16-bit video game console released in 1990. SMC stands for Super Magicom, which was the original Japanese name for the SNES. It is also known as a .SFC file, which stands for Super Famicom. It is the in-house format used on the SNES to store game data.
SMC files are considered binary ROMs, which are copies of games created from an original game cartridge. These ROMs are used by emulators, such as ZSNES or SNES9X, to play the original games on a PC or other platforms. SMC files can be transferred to another computer over a network and can be played exaxtly as if they were run from a real SNES console.
Similar Extensions
SMC files are often confused with other console-related formats, such as: .NES, .GBA, MAME, .PCE, .N64, .GB, and .MD. All these extensions are enumerated from another system related to video game emulation.
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SMC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SMC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SMC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SMC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SMC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SMC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SMC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SMC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SMC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SMC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
