What is a BSV file?

BSV files mostly belong to DeSmuME. Emulator Save State Files:
These BSV files are mostly used by emulators such as DeSmuME (desmume.org) to capture the full state of an emulated game. They hold system memory, registers, and settings in a binary format that is not meant for manual editing.
Binary Scene Viewer Files:
A smaller group of BSV files is used as binary scene viewers for Blu-ray media. They store scene data needed for navigation or preview in specific media applications.
Bluespec SystemVerilog Source Files:
A few BSV files contain source code written in Bluespec SystemVerilog. These files are processed with the Bluespec SystemVerilog Compiler available from Bluespec and are used in hardware design projects.
Usage Tips:
  • Emulator files: Open with DeSmuME or compatible emulators like BizHawk. Avoid using standard text editors.
  • Scene viewer files: Use the specific media software designed to handle Blu-ray data.
  • HDL source files: Edit with an IDE or text editor that supports SystemVerilog syntax.
  • How do you open BSV files?

    You need a suitable software like DeSmuME to open a BSV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your BSV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BSV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the BSV files is as follows:

    As a file extension, BSV isn't very common and includes various formats for various programs. However, the following two file formats are common:
