How to open NBFS file?

The most common problem when using Nintendo DS Nitro Basic Format Screen is that a specific NBFS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NBFS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBFS 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 tinke

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that tinke is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing tinke into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NBFS files.

Programs to open NBFS file

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

Step 2. Create association of tinke with NBFS files

If, despite the installed application, the NBFS file does not start in the tinke application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBFS file with the tinke application.

Step 3. Update tinke to the latest version

If, however, after binding tinke with Nintendo DS Nitro Basic Format Screen there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the pleonex website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NBFS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBFS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NBFS 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 NBFS file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NBFS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NBFS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NBFS 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBFS file again. However, some background programs may block the NBFS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
