NSRT Compressed Game appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The ZSNES application is recommended to open the file. It was released by ZSNES Development Team. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the JMA file. You can use Snes9x in case ZSNES cannot be used.
How to open JMA file?
The main problem with NSRT Compressed Game is that the JMA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file JMA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JMA 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 ZSNES
The first step is to check if the computer has the ZSNES program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZSNES in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file JMA.
Programs to open JMA file
Remember to download programs supporting JMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZSNES with JMA files
If, despite the installed application, the JMA file does not start in the ZSNES application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JMA file with the ZSNES application.
Step 3. Update ZSNES to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZSNES program with the NSRT Compressed Game 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 ZSNES Development Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JMA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to JMA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JMA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JMA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JMA files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JMA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JMA 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JMA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JMA to close. However, some background programs may block the JMA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
