How to open CHT file?
An often recurring problem with SNES Cheat Format is that CHT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file CHT 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 CHT 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 ZSNES
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZSNES is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ZSNES into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CHT.
Programs to open CHT file
Remember to download programs supporting CHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZSNES with CHT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CHT file still does not use the ZSNES program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CHT file with the ZSNES program.
Step 3. Update ZSNES to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZSNES program, it is possible that SNES Cheat Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ZSNES Development Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CHT 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 CHT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CHT file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CHT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CHT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CHT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CHT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CHT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 CHT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CHT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CHT file again. However, some background programs may block the CHT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
