What is PJ1 file?

The file in the PJ1 format belongs to the Game Files category. It was designed by Project64 Team. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Project64 Save 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 Windows. It is recommended to use Project64 to handle this file. This is a program created by Project64 Team.

How to open PJ1 file?

An often recurring problem with Project64 Save is that PJ1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PJ1, 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 PJ1 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 Project64

In this case, you should first verify that the Project64 application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Project64 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PJ1 with Project64. Below you will find a list of applications that support PJ1 files.

Programs to open PJ1 file

Remember to download programs supporting PJ1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Project64 with PJ1 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PJ1 file to open in the Project64 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PJ1 file with the Project64 program.

Step 3. Update Project64 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Project64 with Project64 Save there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Project64 Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PJ1 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The PJ1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PJ1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PJ1 file. Sometimes virus-infected PJ1 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 PJ1 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PJ1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Project64 Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PJ1 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PJ1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PJ1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PJ1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PJ1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
