What is a SUS file?

SUS files mostly belong to PaletteWorks Editor. SUS files are used to store specific data for rhythm games and software licensing. They come in several forms, each with its own purpose:
  • Rhythm Game Chart: These files contain note timings, beat patterns, and event markers used in rhythm games. They are often created and edited with tools like the PaletteWorks Editor.
  • Stepmania Simfile: In this case, the SUS file holds simfile data used by the Stepmania game. It may even reference older sound formats similar to the SEGA Genesis sound. For more details and tools, visit this page.
  • License Information: Some SUS files serve as license files for programs such as Silhouette Studio. They store registration and activation data and are associated with Graphtec Studio. More information is available at Graphtec America.
  • FilExt.com tips: Depending on its origin, your SUS file might be a chart file for a game or a license file. To open or view it, use the specific software designed for that file type. In many cases, you can also view the file in a plain text editor to see its simple, structured commands.
