Tips to open YSP file
Can't open the YSP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open YSP files as well as a list of programs that support YSP files.
YSP file extension
The YSP file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the YSP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the YSP file on each system platform.
What is YSP file?
The file with the extension YSP is the Raster Image Files file type. The creator of this file is BYOB. In addition to this file, the Raster Image Files category includes 522 related files. BYOB Sprite Format is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 2 other programs.
How to open YSP file?
An often recurring problem with BYOB Sprite Format is that YSP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file YSP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YSP 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 BYOB
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BYOB is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BYOB into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support YSP files.
Programs to open YSP file
Remember to download programs supporting YSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BYOB with YSP files
If, despite the installed application, the YSP file does not start in the BYOB application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 YSP file with the BYOB program.
Step 3. Update BYOB to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BYOB program with the BYOB Sprite 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 YSP 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 YSP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the YSP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YSP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover YSP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YSP files changes over time. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YSP file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YSP 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 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 YSP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YSP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YSP file again. However, some background programs may block the YSP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
