How to open BNR file?

The main problem with Nintento Wii Homebrew is that the BNR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BNR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BNR 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 Nintendo Wii

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Nintendo Wii is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Nintendo Wii into the operating system search engine. 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 BNR files.

Programs to open BNR file

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

Step 2. Create association of Nintendo Wii with BNR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BNR file to open in the Nintendo Wii application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BNR file with the Nintendo Wii application.

Step 3. Update Nintendo Wii to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nintendo Wii program with the Nintento Wii Homebrew 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 Nintendo Co., Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BNR 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 BNR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BNR file. Sometimes virus-infected BNR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BNR 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BNR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nintendo Co., Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BNR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BNR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BNR to close. However, some background programs may block the BNR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
