Eagle is a comprehensive tool for designing printed circuit board (PCB) layouts.

To open these files, it is generally necessary to have the Eagle software installed on your computer.

After opening Eagle, you navigate to the File option in the menu bar and select Open. Then simply find the .egm file you wish to open. Please refer to the Eagle documentation as further information may depend on your specific version of Eagle.

Enlightened Game Maker Files

EGM files may also be associated with Enlightened Game Maker (Enigma). This file format is used to store game files created with Enigma, a free and open-source video game development environment.

When you have a file with an EGM extension produced in the Enlightened Game Maker software, you usually need the original Enigma software to open the file.

After selecting the EGM file, the game data contained in the file will be displayed and can be manipulated in the Enigma development environment.

EGM File Important Information

While EGM files can be beneficial for a variety of applications, it's crucial to remember they're typically dependent on specific software to open, view, and manipulate. Therefore, always make sure you have the correct software installed before attempting to open an EGM file.

If you are unsure about the content of an EGM file, you may also use a universal file viewer like File Magic to open it. These software applications can read many file types, even if you do not have the original software that was used to create the file. However, an EGM file may not display correctly in a universal file viewer.

Ultimately, the type of software required to open an EGM file will depend on the specific file type. If it's an Eagle EGM Data file, the Eagle software is needed. For Enlightened Game Maker files, the Enigma software is required. Ensure you have the appropriate software application before attempting to access an EGM file.
