Opening an SLP File

The SLP file type is primarily associated with Dolphin Emulator.

SLP	File extension: SLP
	File type:	Multi-purpose file format

What is an SLP file?

SLP files mostly belong to Dolphin Emulator. SLP files are not one‐size‐fits‐all; they represent several distinct file types. For example, one common use is for Super Smash Bros. Melee replay files that record gameplay and are played back with the Dolphin Emulator.
Other instances include the Age of Empires graphics files which store game art assets used in Age of Empires II and its expansions. Additionally, some SLP files serve as SnapLogic pipeline files, holding configuration in JSON format for data integration tasks (SnapLogic).
There are also examples where the file uses an HDF5 internal structure to keep SLEAP pose tracking data (HDF5 Solutions), and a few serve as Stereolithography 3D model files for CAD applications like SolidWorks (SolidWorks) and SpaceClaim.

Key usage: The file’s purpose is determined by the software that created it.

Opening tip: Check the file’s origin to decide whether you need a game emulator, a SnapLogic platform, CAD software, or a specialized viewer.

How to open SLP files

You need a suitable software like Dolphin Emulator to open an SLP 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 SLP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SLP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SLP file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the SLP files looks like this:

Files with the SLP extension are quite widely used. This file type covers different formats for different programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

20% of all SLP files are Age of Empires Graphics files. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are often between 10 KB and 630 KB in size. The file type was used 20 years ago but is still in use today. The following keywords are characteristic: ArtDesk 1.00 SLP Writer. Examples of file names are 2.slp. These files are attributed to backgrd and game.
20% of all SLP files are associated with slippi replay. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The files are on average 3 MB in size and range from 740 KB to 4 MB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. raw[$U#l. The file name Game_20180601.slp is characteristic of these files.

All other SLP files (60%) have different formats, often e.g. JSON, ZIP, HDF5, DOC and solid. Tagged as schematic, diagram, predictions, model, train or text. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your SLP file!

How to solve problems with SLP files

Associate the SLP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open multi-purpose file formats. Because only the current version supports the latest SLP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Dolphin Emulator update.
To make sure that your SLP file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
