The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CVM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Odin Sphere

Programs to open CVM file

Remember to download programs supporting CVM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Odin Sphere with CVM files

If, despite the installed application, the CVM file does not start in the Odin Sphere application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Odin Sphere application as the default for handling the CVM file.

Step 3. Update Odin Sphere to the latest version

If, however, after binding Odin Sphere with Odin Sphere there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the ATLUS website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CVM file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The CVM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CVM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CVM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CVM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CVM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CVM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ATLUS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CVM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CVM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CVM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
