How to open UAE file?
The main problem with WinUAE Configuration is that the UAE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UAE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UAE 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 WinUAE
In this case, you should first verify that the WinUAE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinUAE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UAE with WinUAE. Below you will find a list of applications that support UAE files.
Programs to open UAE file
Remember to download programs supporting UAE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinUAE with UAE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UAE file to open in the WinUAE application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 UAE file with the WinUAE program.
Step 3. Update WinUAE to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinUAE with WinUAE Configuration there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UAE 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. This suggests truncating the UAE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UAE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UAE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UAE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UAE files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UAE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the UAE 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. However, some background programs may block the UAE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
