How to open $S file?

The main problem with ZX Spectrum Hobetta Picture Format is that the $S file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file $S to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $S 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open $S files.

Programs to open $S file

Remember to download programs supporting $S files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of with $S files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the $S file to open in the application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the application as the default for handling the $S file.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, however, after binding with ZX Spectrum Hobetta Picture Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $S 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. Usually this applies to $S files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file $S or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected $S files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the $S file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular $S file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted $S files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the $S file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the $S file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the $S file again. However, some background programs may block the $S file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
