How to open KCL file?

The most common problem when using Mario Kart Collision Format is that a specific KCL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KCL 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 KCL 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 MKDS Course Modifier

Programs to open KCL file

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

Step 2. Create association of MKDS Course Modifier with KCL files

If, despite the installed application, the KCL file does not start in the MKDS Course Modifier 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. 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. 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.

Step 3. Update MKDS Course Modifier to the latest version

If, however, after binding MKDS Course Modifier with Mario Kart Collision Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KCL file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KCL 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KCL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KCL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KCL 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KCL file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KCL 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the KCL file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KCL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KCL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
