The EMM file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the EMM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the EMM file on each system platform.
What is EMM file?
The EMM file has been categorized as System Files. System Files consists of 323 similar files. Expanded Memory Manager Data Format is supported by 3 operating systems. These systems consist of iOS, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use MS-DOS to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. There are also 5 alternative programs to handle the EMM file. MikuMikuDance, MindMaple, Street Fighter IV will apply when it is not possible to use MS-DOS.
How to open EMM file?
An often recurring problem with Expanded Memory Manager Data Format is that EMM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EMM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMM 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 MS-DOS
The first step is to check if the computer has the MS-DOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MS-DOS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EMM files.
Programs to open EMM file
Remember to download programs supporting EMM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MS-DOS with EMM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EMM file to open in the MS-DOS application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 MS-DOS application as the default for handling the EMM file.
Step 3. Update MS-DOS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MS-DOS program, it is possible that Expanded Memory Manager Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EMM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EMM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EMM files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EMM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EMM 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the EMM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EMM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
