How to open ZM4 file?
The most common problem when using ZSNES Movie #4 is that a specific ZM4 is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZM4 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZM4 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 ZSNES
In this case, you should first verify that the ZSNES application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ZSNES in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZM4 with ZSNES. Below is a list of programs that support the file ZM4.
Programs to open ZM4 file
Remember to download programs supporting ZM4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZSNES with ZM4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ZM4 file still does not use the ZSNES program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZM4 file with the ZSNES program.
Step 3. Update ZSNES to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZSNES program with the ZSNES Movie #4 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 ZSNES Development Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZM4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZM4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZM4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ZM4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZM4 file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZM4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ZSNES Development Team help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZM4 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZM4 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZM4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
