How to open NCER file?

The main problem with Nintendo DS Nitro Cell Resource is that the NCER file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NCER, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

The first step is to check if the computer has the tinke program installed. To do this, enter the name tinke into the system search engine.

Programs to open NCER file

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

Step 2. Create association of tinke with NCER files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NCER file still does not use the tinke program, it means no 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NCER file with the tinke application.

Step 3. Update tinke to the latest version

If, however, after binding tinke with Nintendo DS Nitro Cell Resource 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 pleonex page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NCER file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NCER file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NCER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NCER files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCER files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NCER 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NCER file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NCER file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NCER file again. 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.
