How to open FRZ file?
An often recurring problem with Snes9x Saved State is that FRZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FRZ 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 FRZ 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 Snes9x
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Snes9x is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Snes9x into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FRZ with Snes9x. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FRZ files.
Programs to open FRZ file
Remember to download programs supporting FRZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Snes9x with FRZ files
If, despite the installed application, the FRZ file does not start in the Snes9x 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FRZ file with the Snes9x application.
Step 3. Update Snes9x to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Snes9x program, it is possible that Snes9x Saved State requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRZ 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 FRZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FRZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FRZ file. However, remember that not every infected FRZ 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 FRZ 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRZ files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FRZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FRZ to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRZ to close. However, some background programs may block the FRZ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
