What is an ST1 file?

ST1 files mostly belong to VisualBoyAdvance. Some ST1 files use different internal formats and serve varied purposes.
For example, one type is a Game Boy Advance save file that uses GZIP compression. This file stores game progress and is handled by emulators like VisualBoyAdvance (learn more).
Another type is used by TicketCreator as a ticket printing format. These files define ticket design data and are used when preparing print layouts (visit site).
There are also ST1 files that work as 3D Studio mesh files or spatial data in GIS/CAD settings. They use the Microsoft Compound file format and are linked with design tools such as Stirling engine design software and Cadcorp SIS spatial systems (details).
Other uses include files that serve as MySQL database backups created by MySqlBackup.NET and files known as SvtPic trace files which record surveying instrument data (more info).

  • FilExt.com tip: Because the ST1 extension does not follow a single standard, the program that created it is needed to open and view its contents.

    How to open an ST1 file
