What is BG9 file?
The file with the extension BG9 is the Raster Image Files file type. Raster Image Files consists of 522 similar files. Atari Picture Image Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is RECOIL. This was created by Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga.
How to open BG9 file?
An often recurring problem with Atari Picture Image Format is that BG9 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BG9 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 BG9 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 RECOIL
In this case, you should first verify that the RECOIL application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RECOIL in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BG9 files.
Programs to open BG9 file
Remember to download programs supporting BG9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RECOIL with BG9 files
If, despite the installed application, the BG9 file does not start in the RECOIL application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BG9 file with the RECOIL program.
Step 3. Update RECOIL to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RECOIL program, it is possible that Atari Picture Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Piotr Fusik and Adrian Matoga website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BG9 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BG9 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BG9 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BG9 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BG9 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 option of recovering data from damaged BG9 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BG9 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BG9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BG9 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
