How to open GSDU file?
An often recurring problem with GameSave Manager Database Update is that GSDU is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GSDU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GSDU 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 GameSave Manager
The first step is to check if the computer has the GameSave Manager program installed. To do this, enter the name GameSave Manager 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 GSDU files.
Programs to open GSDU file
Remember to download programs supporting GSDU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GameSave Manager with GSDU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSDU file still does not use the GameSave Manager program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GSDU file with the GameSave Manager program.
Step 3. Update GameSave Manager to the latest version
If, despite the association of the GameSave Manager program with the GameSave Manager Database Update file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the InsaneMatt website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSDU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GSDU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GSDU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GSDU 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 GSDU 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GSDU files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting InsaneMatt, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSDU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GSDU to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 GSDU to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSDU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
