What is a CSMP file?
A CSMP file is an audio file included in a video game developed by Retro Studios, such as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption or Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. It typically contains a sound effect played in the game. Some CSMP files instead contain in-game music.
More Information
Retro Studios is an American subsidiary of Nintendo. The developer is best known for creating and publishing games in the Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country series.
