The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDB 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 Numen64

Programs to open RDB file
Remember to download programs supporting RDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Numen64 with RDB files
If, despite the installed application, the RDB file does not start in the Numen64 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 RDB file with the Numen64 application.
Step 3. Update Numen64 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Numen64 program with the N64 ROM Database 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 RDB 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 RDB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RDB or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RDB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RDB files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RDB 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RDB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RDB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
