What is a .GGZ file?
A .GGZ file is a type of file that holds information about a game you've been playing on NeptunJS, which is a program that lets you play old video game console games on your computer or phone using just your web browser. Think of it like a bookmark that saves your exact spot in a game, so you can come back later and start playing from where you left off, without having to start the game all over again. This is really handy if you're playing a long game and need to take a break.
You can use these .GGZ files on any website that has the NeptunJS emulator. This means if you save your game while playing on NeptunJS.xyz, you can later go to a different website that also uses NeptunJS, upload your .GGZ file, and continue your game there.
To open a .GGZ file, you generally don't need any special program if you're just looking to continue your game on NeptunJS. However, if you're curious about what's inside the file or if you need to do something special with it, you should know that a .GGZ file is actually a compressed file, kind of like a ZIP file, but it uses a method called Gzip to make the file smaller.
If you want to see the contents of a .GGZ file or use it in a different way, you first need to change its name by replacing ".ggz" with ".gz". After you've done that, you can open it with any program that can handle Gzip compressed files. These programs are available for all types of computers and phones, so no matter what device you're using, you should be able to find a tool to decompress (or "unzip") your .GGZ file. Once it's decompressed, you can see the data inside, though making sense of that data might require some technical knowledge about how NeptunJS and its games work.
