What is MS1 file?

The file in the MS1 format belongs to the Game Files category. The creator of this file is VIrtualBus. Additionally, the Game Files category contains 1509 of other files. VirtualBus Map Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The VirtualBus application is recommended to open the file. It was released by VirtualBus.info.

How to open MS1 file?

The main problem with VirtualBus Map Format is that the MS1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MS1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MS1 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 VirtualBus

The first step is to check if the computer has the VirtualBus program installed. To do this, enter the name VirtualBus into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MS1 files.

Programs to open MS1 file

Remember to download programs supporting MS1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of VirtualBus with MS1 files

If, despite the installed application, the MS1 file does not start in the VirtualBus 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. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MS1 file with the VirtualBus program.

Step 3. Update VirtualBus to the latest version

If, however, after binding VirtualBus with VirtualBus Map Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the VirtualBus.info page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS1 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MS1 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MS1 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MS1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MS1 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MS1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use VIrtualBus help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MS1 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MS1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MS1 to close. However, some background programs may block the MS1 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
