What is NCLR file?

The NCLR file has been categorized as Game Files. It was designed by Nintendo. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Nintendo DS Color Palette Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open NCLR file?

The main problem with Nintendo DS Color Palette Format is that the NCLR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NCLR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NCLR 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 Crystal Tile

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Crystal Tile is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Crystal Tile into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NCLR.

Programs to open NCLR file

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

Step 2. Create association of Crystal Tile with NCLR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NCLR file still does not use the Crystal Tile program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Crystal Tile application as the default for handling the NCLR file.

Step 3. Update Crystal Tile to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Crystal Tile program with the Nintendo DS Color Palette Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NCLR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 NCLR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NCLR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NCLR 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCLR files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NCLR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NCLR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NCLR 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. However, some background programs may block the NCLR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
