Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open YDT files.

Step 2. Create association of Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos with YDT files

If, despite the installed application, the YDT file does not start in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos application as the default for handling the YDT file.

Step 3. Update Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos program with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power Of Chaos Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to YDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YDT file. Sometimes virus-infected YDT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the YDT file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YDT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted YDT 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. If possible, you can try to move the YDT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the YDT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file YDT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
