The BSX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BSX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BSX file on each system platform.
What is BSX file?
The file in the BSX format belongs to the Misc Files category. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. PBASIC Preprocessor Output is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use BASIC Stamp Windows Editor to handle this file. This is a program created by Parallax.
How to open BSX file?
The most common problem when using PBASIC Preprocessor Output is that a specific BSX is not associated with the program. This causes the file BSX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSX 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 BASIC Stamp Windows Editor
In this case, you should first verify that the BASIC Stamp Windows Editor application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BASIC Stamp Windows Editor 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 BSX files.
Programs to open BSX file
Remember to download programs supporting BSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BASIC Stamp Windows Editor with BSX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BSX file still does not use the BASIC Stamp Windows Editor program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BSX file with the BASIC Stamp Windows Editor application.
Step 3. Update BASIC Stamp Windows Editor to the latest version
If, however, after binding BASIC Stamp Windows Editor with PBASIC Preprocessor Output 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 Parallax page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BSX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BSX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BSX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BSX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BSX 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BSX 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 BSX 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 BSX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BSX file again. 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.
