How to open ZGP file?

An often recurring problem with Zelda Classic Graphics Pack is that ZGP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ZGP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZGP 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 Zelda Classic

In this case, you should first verify that the Zelda Classic application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Zelda Classic into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZGP files.

Programs to open ZGP file

Remember to download programs supporting ZGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Zelda Classic with ZGP files

If, despite the installed application, the ZGP file does not start in the Zelda Classic 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Zelda Classic application as the default for handling the ZGP file.

Step 3. Update Zelda Classic to the latest version

If, however, after binding Zelda Classic with Zelda Classic Graphics Pack 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 Armaggedon Games website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZGP 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 ZGP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZGP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZGP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZGP 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 ZGP 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZGP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Armaggedon Games
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZGP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ZGP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZGP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
