What is a PM1 file

PM1 files mostly belong to PMDEditor. PM1 files are used as internal data containers in games. They mostly serve as Pokémon game data files, storing game assets and configuration. In some instances, these files hold audio data for SEGA Dreamcast games.
Usage details include:

Storing in-game configuration and asset information.

Containing data structures that the game engine reads during play.

Embedding sound or audio elements in certain game titles.

Access to these files requires specialized tools such as PMDEditor. They are not readable in standard text or media editors.
FilExt.com note: A little known fact is that PM1 files may combine both game and audio data streams in one container. This mixed usage has led to their modification by game modders to alter behavior and presentation.

How to open PM1 files

You need a suitable software like PMDEditor to open a PM1 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.
