What is PSAR file?
The file in the PSAR format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Sony. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

How to open PSAR file?
The most common problem when using PSP Update Format is that a specific PSAR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PSAR, 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 PSAR 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 DevHook
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DevHook is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DevHook into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PSAR with DevHook. Below you will find a list of applications that support PSAR files.
Programs to open PSAR file
Remember to download programs supporting PSAR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DevHook with PSAR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSAR file still does not use the DevHook program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DevHook application as the default for handling the PSAR file.
Step 3. Update DevHook to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DevHook program, it is possible that PSP Update Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSAR 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:
The PSAR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PSAR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSAR file. However, remember that not every infected PSAR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSAR 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PSAR files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSAR 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. It is best to move PSAR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PSAR to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
