Are you having problems opening a SMD file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your SMD files.

What is a SMD file?

SMD files have multiple uses, and Sega Genesis / Megadrive ROM Image is one of them. Read more about the other uses further down the page.

Sega Genesis / Megadrive ROM Image

Files that contain the .smd file extension are most commonly associated with ROM image files that are used to store copies of a Sega Genesis video game.

An SMD file contains an exact copy of a game from a Sega Genesis game cartridge. This file then allows the game to be played on a computer, eliminating the need for a Sega Genesis console. However, the user must have the proper emulation software installed on his or her computer in order to play the SMD game.
