How to open NBL file?

The main problem with Phantasy Star Universe is that the NBL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NBL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBL 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 Phantasy Star Online

The first step is to check if the computer has the Phantasy Star Online program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Phantasy Star Online in it.

Programs to open NBL file

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

Step 2. Create association of Phantasy Star Online with NBL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NBL file still does not use the Phantasy Star Online program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NBL file with the Phantasy Star Online application.

Step 3. Update Phantasy Star Online to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Phantasy Star Online program with the Phantasy Star Universe file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Sega Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBL 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:

The NBL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NBL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NBL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NBL 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NBL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sega Corporation, 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 NBL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NBL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NBL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
