How to open HES file?

The most common problem when using TurboGrafx-16 Audio is that a specific HES is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HES 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 HES 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 Audio Overload

In this case, you should first verify that the Audio Overload application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Audio Overload in it. 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 HES files.

Programs to open HES file

Remember to download programs supporting HES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Audio Overload with HES files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HES file to open in the Audio Overload application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 HES file with the Audio Overload application.

Step 3. Update Audio Overload to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Audio Overload program, it is possible that TurboGrafx-16 Audio requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Richard F. Bannister website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HES 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HES file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HES file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HES 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 HES file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HES file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HES 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. Copying the HES 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HES file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
