More Information SR file open in XnViewMP While Sun Raster Graphics primarily use the .SUN and .RAS extensions, some are saved as SR files. You can identify a Sun Raster Graphic by opening the file in a hex editor and examining its header. A Sun Raster Graphic's header always includes the magic number 59a66a95 . SR files may contain full-color, paletted, or grayscale images, saved with an image depth of 1, 4, 8, 24, or 32 bits. The data an SR file contains may be compressed, using run-length encoding, or uncompressed.

An SR file may also be a compressed archive included in a Sega Genesis Collection video game. It contains files used by a game included in the collection. SR files are compressed using zlib compression .

More Information

Various Sega Genesis Collections include video games whose ROMs and assets are saved within SR archives. An archive that contains a game ROM uses the game's name as its filename, while archives that contain game assets use the game's name and a suffix (such as _FW or _FFE) as their filenames.

How to open an SR file

Because SR files are so uncommon, you may have trouble extracting the files they contain. However, some gamers have been able to extract ROMs and assets from SR files using offzip and QuickBMS.
