What is a .NDR file?
An .NDR file is a type of computer file used specifically with Nintendo 64DD Emulator ROM Save Files. This file contains saved game data from a program called Project64, which allows users to play games originally designed for the Nintendo 64 console and its 64DD peripheral device. The 64DD was an add-on released only in Japan in 1999, which connected to the Nintendo 64 and used special 64MB magnetic disks for storing game data that could be rewritten and expanded.
The .NDR file saves all the game data exactly as it was on the original 64DD disk, including any progress you make in the game while using Project64. This means that if you are playing a game that was originally designed for the 64DD, and you save your game, the saved data goes into an .NDR file. Later, when you want to continue playing, Project64 will look for the .NDR file to load your saved game progress.
To open an .NDR file, you need to use Project64, which is the emulation software designed for playing Nintendo 64 and 64DD games on a computer. This software checks for the presence of an .NDR file to load any saved game data.
The .NDR file is particularly relevant for gamers who enjoy playing older games through emulation, especially those interested in games that were released for the somewhat obscure 64DD device. Since the 64DD was not widely distributed and was considered a commercial failure, .NDR files and the games they represent hold a special interest mainly for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage gaming.
