MGT file extension
The MGT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MGT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MGT file on each system platform.
What is MGT file?
The MGT file has been categorized as Disk Image Files. Additionally, the Disk Image Files category contains 203 of other files. ZX Spectrum Emulator Disk Image is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux. The main program that supports this format is XZX-Pro. This was created by Erik Kunze.
How to open MGT file?
The most common problem when using ZX Spectrum Emulator Disk Image is that a specific MGT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MGT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MGT 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 XZX-Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the XZX-Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name XZX-Pro 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 MGT files.
Programs to open MGT file
Remember to download programs supporting MGT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XZX-Pro with MGT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MGT file to open in the XZX-Pro 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MGT file with the XZX-Pro application.
Step 3. Update XZX-Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XZX-Pro program, it is possible that ZX Spectrum Emulator Disk Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Erik Kunze website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MGT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MGT 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MGT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MGT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MGT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MGT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MGT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the MGT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
