Programs to open VMV file
Remember to download programs supporting VMV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VirtuaNES with VMV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VMV file to open in the VirtuaNES 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 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 VirtuaNES application as the default for handling the VMV file.
Step 3. Update VirtuaNES to the latest version
If, however, after binding VirtuaNES with VirtuaNES Recording there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMV 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VMV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VMV or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VMV 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 VMV files changes over time. 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 VMV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VMV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the VMV 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VMV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
