What is a SPRX file?

SPRX is a file format used by games developed for Sony Playstation 3 game console. SPRX files store data related to system hardware and software compatibility. Newer generation of Sony consoles (Playstation 4) no longer uses this solution.

If the system discovers that the installed firmware is not compatible with given game, game launch process will be stopped and an appropriate message will be displayed on the screen. It is possible to trick the system into launching the game by using a modified SPRX file generated with ebootMOD application.

How to open SPRX files

If you cannot open the SPRX file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports SPRX among those that are installed on your device.

A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the SPRX file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.

Possible problems with the SPRX format files

The inability to open and operate the SPRX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Sony Playstation 3 SPRX Firmware file. Below is a list of possible problems.

  • Corruption of a SPRX file which is being opened
  • Incorrect links to the SPRX file in registry entries.
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the SPRX from the Windows registry
  • Incomplete installation of an application that supports the SPRX format
  • The SPRX file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
  • The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the SPRX file.
  • Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a SPRX file are out of date.

If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the SPRX file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the SPRX file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the SPRX file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?

If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.SPRX) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected SPRX file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the SPRX file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.

Is there one way to open unknown files?

Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. SPRX) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
