Disk image files or hard disk images created for older NEC PC-98 computer system emulation software like Anex86 and T98-Next are known as HDI files. What these HDI files contain are the older PC-98 video games wherein these files allow these video games to be run on Windows provided there is emulation software that supports it. Two of the most common software that support HDI files and are used to open them are the Anex86 and the T98-Next. The Anex86 is a Windows emulator that contains GUI in English even if it is mainly created and used for Japanese computers. This makes the software easy to use for those who are not Japanese. But if users want the software in Japanese, they can always localize HDF files into Japanese. On the other hand, the T98-Next is another emulator for Windows and a sequel to T98. Since these are Windows emulators, they are most commonly run on Windows alone.how to open a .hdi file?

T98-Next is an emulator which happens to be part of the sequel for T98. It supports different types of game formats which include FDI, XDF, DUP, D88, D98, HDM NFD and TFD for FDDs and THD, HDI, and NHD for HDDs. This emulator allows the saving of the game to be done faster by just simply pressing the button and it will automatically save the game which allows the player to go back to the part of the game that he left at a later time. T98-Next works with different types of audios including PCM as well as FM. The development of this emulator was however put to stop in 2002. Using of this emulator however needs large amount of CPU usage, which causes downloading of other applications or just merely using them almost impossible because this emulator will slow down the processing of the CPU.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .hdi files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .hdi. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
