About MCR files

The .MCR file extension represents a collision of two very different digital worlds, creating frequent confusion for users. Most commonly, it acts as a Macro Script created by Jitbit Macro Recorder, storing sequences of mouse clicks and keystrokes used to automate repetitive Windows tasks. These files are proprietary and cannot be executed without the host software, limiting their portability. A distinct but significant portion of .MCR files are PlayStation Memory Card Images used by emulators like ePSXe. These binary dumps act as virtual memory cards for saving legacy game progress.

The biggest challenge with .MCR files is their lack of interoperability. A macro script is useless if you want to share your automation with a colleague who doesn't own the recording software, and a PlayStation save file is often locked to specific emulator versions.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Distribution (Macros): Convert .MCR to EXE (Executable). This allows the script to run on any Windows machine without installing the recorder software.
For Editing/Review: Convert to TXT or C# code to audit the automation steps or port the logic to other languages.
For Gaming (Emulators): Convert .MCR to MCD or GME using tools like MemcardRex. This ensures your save files are compatible across different emulators (e.g., moving from ePSXe to PCSX2) or for archival purposes.

Convert.Guru analyzes your MCR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted GME, MCD, MRC, SRM, MCS, PSV, DAT_MCR, MCPR, VMP, ZIP, TXT, PDF and AMC files.

The MCR Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MCR converter.
