The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JMT 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.

Programs to open JMT file
Remember to download programs supporting JMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Hot Potatoes with JMT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JMT file to open in the Hot Potatoes application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Hot Potatoes application as the default for handling the JMT file.
Step 3. Update Hot Potatoes to the latest version
If, however, after binding Hot Potatoes with JMatch Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Half-Baked Software Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JMT 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:
The JMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JMT 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 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 JMT file. Sometimes virus-infected JMT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of JMT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JMT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JMT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JMT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JMT to close. However, some background programs may block the JMT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
