Troubleshooting Problems Opening MBZ Files
Typical MBZ Opening Challenges
Missing PogoShell
When trying to open your MBZ file, you get the error "Can't Open MBZ File Type". Customarily, this means that PogoShell is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your MBZ with PogoShell, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When another MBZ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect PogoShell Version
It is possible that your version of PogoShell isn't able to open your Pogoshell NES Emulator Plugin file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of PogoShell installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Pogoshell NES Emulator Plugin file was created by a newer PogoShell than what you have installed.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your MBZ file and clicking "Properties".
Regardless, most of the MBZ file opening problems relate to not having the right version of PogoShell installed.
Additional MBZ Opening Issues
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of PogoShell will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading MBZ files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for MBZ
- Corruption of the MBZ file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the MBZ format
- File corruption affecting your MBZ file
- Your MBZ has adversely impacted by malware
- Drivers associated with MBZ software need to be updated
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Pogoshell NES Emulator Plugin file
