This is a program created by Erik Kunze.
How to open $1 file?
An often recurring problem with ZX Spectrum HOBETA Format is that $1 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file $1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install XZX-Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XZX-Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XZX-Pro into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file $1.
Programs to open $1 file
Remember to download programs supporting $1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XZX-Pro with $1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the $1 file still does not use the XZX-Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the $1 file with the XZX-Pro application.
Step 3. Update XZX-Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XZX-Pro program, it is possible that ZX Spectrum HOBETA Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Erik Kunze page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the $1 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the $1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected $1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of $1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged $1 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted $1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the $1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
