What is a .DSV file?
DSV is a battery save from the DeSmuME Nintendo DS emulator.
- Did you know
- DSV stores the in-game saves of DS titles played in DeSmuME.
- A DSV holds the in-game battery saves that real DS cartridges would keep, written out by DeSmuME as a file on disk.
- DeSmuME’s name is read as “DS emu for me”, combining the console, “emulator” and a playful “me”.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more game and emulator files: Unity asset bundles, Unreal cooked assets, CISO/CHD disc images, FMOD/Wwise sound banks, Spine skeletons and atlases, GameMaker/LDtk/TIC-80 projects, Minecraft Anvil regions, Warcraft III maps, Ren Py and RPG Maker data, extra console ROMs (Atari, PC Engine, Master System/Game Gear, WonderSwan, 3DS homebrew), xdelta/Basis patches and emulator saves and movies.
- Depth of analysis
- .DSV is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .DSV file
- Drag a .DSV file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
