What is 2SF file?
The file in the 2SF format belongs to the Audio Files category. Additionally, the Audio Files category contains 771 of other files. Nintendo DS Sound Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Winamp. This was created by Radionomy. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the 2SF file. You can use Puppy Linux, Foobar2000 in case Winamp cannot be used.
How to open 2SF file?
The most common problem when using Nintendo DS Sound Format is that a specific 2SF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 2SF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 2SF 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 Winamp
In this case, you should first verify that the Winamp application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Winamp into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support 2SF files.
Programs to open 2SF file
Remember to download programs supporting 2SF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Winamp with 2SF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 2SF file to open in the Winamp application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Winamp application as the default for handling the 2SF file.
Step 3. Update Winamp to the latest version
If, however, after binding Winamp with Nintendo DS Sound Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Radionomy page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 2SF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to 2SF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 2SF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 2SF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of 2SF 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 2SF file corruption. 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 2SF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the 2SF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 2SF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
