How to open S3I file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S3I 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.

Programs to open S3I file
Remember to download programs supporting S3I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Scream Tracker with S3I files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S3I file to open in the Scream Tracker 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 select the desired program. 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 Scream Tracker application as the default for handling the S3I file.
Step 3. Update Scream Tracker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Scream Tracker with Scream Tracker 3 Instrument there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Psi website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S3I 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 S3I file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to S3I files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our S3I file. Sometimes virus-infected S3I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the S3I file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular S3I file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S3I files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the S3I file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the S3I file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
