About SRM files
An .SRM file is primarily used to store game save data for various video game emulators, such as RetroArch, Snes9x, and ePSXe. It effectively acts as a digital memory card or internal battery save for emulated PlayStation, Super Nintendo, and Sega console games. Additionally, the .SRM extension is used by Spektrum RC transmitters to store radio-controlled aircraft and model preset configurations in a structured JSON format. Users typically need to convert .SRM files when migrating game saves between different emulators or portable gaming handhelds. The main disadvantage of emulator .SRM files is their extreme lack of standardization. A Super Nintendo .SRM file has a completely different binary structure than a PlayStation .SRM file. This closed, proprietary nature means standard conversion software almost always fails to process them, and they cannot be natively opened by web browsers or standard operating system tools. If you are migrating emulator saves, your best target formats are SAV or MCR. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert, often only the original emulator software can properly read or export the save data. Standard converters cannot safely translate the memory blocks. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, like plain text in the case of Spektrum RC setups, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SRM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert SRM file to SAV, MCD, MCR, SRA, L, FLA, SGM, EEP, EXE, ISO, BIN or CUE, you can use RetroArch or similar software from the "Emulator Save & RC Preset" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MOD, BIN, CFG, SCX, DAT, MPQ, LOG, CUE, INI, EXE, SCM or ISO files to SRM, try RetroArch or another comparable tool in the "Emulator Save & RC Preset" category.
The SRM 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 SRM converter.
