How to open PSARC file?

Programs to open PSARC file
Remember to download programs supporting PSARC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ULTIMATE TOOLZ with PSARC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSARC file still does not use the ULTIMATE TOOLZ 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSARC file with the ULTIMATE TOOLZ application.
Step 3. Update ULTIMATE TOOLZ to the latest version
If, however, after binding ULTIMATE TOOLZ with Sony Playstation 3 Game Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSARC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSARC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PSARC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PSARC 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 PSARC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PSARC files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSARC 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 PSARC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 PSARC 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.
