What is a VMC file?
A .VMC file is primarily a Windows Virtual Machine Configuration File created by Microsoft. It stores hardware settings for a virtual machine. This includes memory size, hard disk locations, and network configurations. These files use a standard XML format.
The .VMC extension has multiple meanings. It can also be a PlayStation Virtual Memory Card file used by PlayStation 2 emulators like ePSXe. In broadcasting, vMix uses .VMC files for control presets. Finally, the game Virtual Villagers by Last Day of Work uses them for game textures.
How to open VMC files?
Because a .VMC file can serve different purposes, you must first identify its format. You can use a text editor like Notepad++ to inspect the file. If you see text in an XML structure, it is likely a Microsoft virtual machine file or a vMix preset.
viewer.online/vmc analyzes .VMC files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Software and tools
To load a Windows Virtual Machine Configuration File, use Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V. For PlayStation emulator memory cards, use ePSXe. For broadcasting presets, use vMix.
