How to open GIR file?
An often recurring problem with Gens Plus! Movie is that GIR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GIR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GIR 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 Gens Plus!
In this case, you should first verify that the Gens Plus! application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Gens Plus! into the 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 GIR files.
Programs to open GIR file
Remember to download programs supporting GIR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Gens Plus! with GIR files
If, despite the installed application, the GIR file does not start in the Gens Plus! application, you must create a file association. 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 GIR file with the Gens Plus! application.
Step 3. Update Gens Plus! to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Gens Plus! program with the Gens Plus! Movie file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the RETROBASE.NET website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GIR 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 GIR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GIR 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GIR file. However, remember that not every infected GIR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GIR file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GIR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RETROBASE.NET help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GIR 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.
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. Copying the GIR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GIR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
