How to open STAGE file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STAGE 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 2D Fighter Maker
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 2D Fighter Maker is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 2D Fighter Maker into the system search engine.

Programs to open STAGE file
Remember to download programs supporting STAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 2D Fighter Maker with STAGE files
If, despite the installed application, the STAGE file does not start in the 2D Fighter Maker 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the STAGE file with the 2D Fighter Maker program.
Step 3. Update 2D Fighter Maker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 2D Fighter Maker program with the 2D Fighter Maker Stage Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Enterbrain, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STAGE 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the STAGE file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our STAGE file. However, remember that not every infected STAGE 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 STAGE 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STAGE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STAGE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the STAGE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the STAGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the STAGE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
