Open SAP File

SAP files are most often music files for early Atari consoles with 8-bit architecture and a sound chip that emulated sounds in real times. These files, if original, are really old and can be played back with SAP players that are available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Open SAP File on Windows OS

  • Look for an SAP file you need to open in Windows Explorer and double-click on it
  • If the file doesn’t open automatically and you see a “Windows can’t open a file” message then you should search for a program which can open SAP file
  • If you have a program which can open SAP file installed on your computer then launch that program and select “File” and then “Open” or similar options from its menu to open the SAP file
  • If you don’t have the program installed then you need to try searching for “SAP wiki”, “how to open SAP file” in the search engine.
  • Once you find the application, install it on your computer
  • After the program is installed double-click on the SAP file to open it

File extensions are used by Windows operating system to specify what kind of information is stored in the file. Every file in Windows OS needs to have file extension and file extensions are used by Windows to determine which application it should use to open the file. Every application installed on Windows OS places information about which extensions it could open into the Windows registry and Windows uses this information to determine which application it should launch when user double-clicks on the file. If application which can open SAP file is not installed, then Windows will show ‘Windows can’t open SAP file’ message and buttons to either select an application on the computer which can open the file or to search the web for the application which can open SAP file.
