How to open RKG file?

The most common problem when using Mario Kart Wii Ghost Data is that a specific RKG is not associated with the program. This causes the file RKG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RKG 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 Mario Kart Wii

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mario Kart Wii is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mario Kart Wii in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RKG files.

Programs to open RKG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Mario Kart Wii with RKG files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RKG file to open in the Mario Kart Wii application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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 Mario Kart Wii application as the default for handling the RKG file.

Step 3. Update Mario Kart Wii to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mario Kart Wii program with the Mario Kart Wii Ghost Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Nintendo Co., Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RKG 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RKG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RKG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RKG 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 RKG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Nintendo Co., Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RKG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RKG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RKG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RKG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RKG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
