How to open SSFSAV file?

Step 1. Install Super Smash Flash

Programs to open SSFSAV file
Remember to download programs supporting SSFSAV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Super Smash Flash with SSFSAV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSFSAV file still does not use the Super Smash Flash 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSFSAV file with the Super Smash Flash application.
Step 3. Update Super Smash Flash to the latest version
If, however, after binding Super Smash Flash with Super Smash Flash Saved Game Format 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 McLeodGaming Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSFSAV 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 suggests truncating the SSFSAV file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SSFSAV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SSFSAV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SSFSAV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SSFSAV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact McLeodGaming
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSFSAV 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SSFSAV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SSFSAV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
