How to open GGS file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GGS 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 No$gba
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that No$gba is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing No$gba into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open GGS file
Remember to download programs supporting GGS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of No$gba with GGS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GGS file to open in the No$gba 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 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 GGS file with the No$gba application.
Step 3. Update No$gba to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the No$gba program, it is possible that Gameboy Emulator requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GGS 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 GGS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GGS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GGS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GGS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GGS file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GGS file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GGS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move GGS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GGS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GGS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
