How to open BME file?
The main problem with BeatMania 7-Key Song Format is that the BME file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that BME files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BME 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 StepMania
The first step is to check if the computer has the StepMania program installed. This can be achieved by typing StepMania into the operating 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 BME.
Programs to open BME file
Remember to download programs supporting BME files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StepMania with BME files
If, despite the installed application, the BME file does not start in the StepMania application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 BME file with the StepMania program.
Step 3. Update StepMania to the latest version
If, despite the association of the StepMania program with the BeatMania 7-Key Song Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the StepMania website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BME file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BME 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BME file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BME files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BME file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BME file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Konami help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BME except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the BME file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
