What is the Attempt to Open File Failed Error?

When attempting to run a game, the Project 64 emulator will throw a “Attempt to open file failed” error. This means that the emulator is having trouble locating the game and thus can’t open it. The error can be caused by a number of other issues such as corrupted files, incorrect installation paths, or due to the use of wrong emulator set up option.

How to Fix the Attempt to Open File Failed Error

The first step in fixing this error is to make sure that all the games you’re trying to run on Project 64 are installed in the correct directory. The emulator will only be able to find games installed to the correct path, so make sure that the files are properly placed. You can download the game files from the official website to ensure it will be installed at the correct place.

If the issue persists after ensuring that the game files are properly installed, then check to make sure that the emulator settings are configured correctly. Make sure that you are running the game with the correct settings for your system. This includes selecting the correct CPU and RAM amount from the emulator’s settings.

If the issue still persists after making sure the settings are correct, then you should also ensure that none of the game files are corrupted. If a game file is corrupted, it can cause the game to not run correctly and may even cause the emulator to throw this error. You can check to make sure the game files are working correctly by running a scan of the file and repairing any errors it finds.

Finally, if you’re still having issues make sure that your graphics drivers are up to date. The emulator will not be able to work correctly with outdated drivers so make sure you update them. You can find the latest drivers from the video card manufacturer’s website.
