Frequently Asked Questions

NFO (iNFOrmation) files are text files using CP437 encoding, common in software releases. They contain ASCII art, release notes, and information about the release.

NFO files use Code Page 437 (DOS encoding) with special block and line-drawing characters. Standard editors show garbage because they use wrong encoding.

CP437 (DOS codepage) with extended ASCII characters for box drawing (┌─┐│└┘), blocks (█▀▄), and shading (░▒▓).

Yes. NFO files are text documents. This viewer simply displays text with correct encoding - it doesn't assist with any illegal activities.

NFO files are part of scene culture and release standards. They provide consistent, platform-independent information display with artistic ASCII elements.

Monospace fonts like Consolas, Lucida Console, or DOS fonts. The viewer uses a monospace font optimized for CP437 character display.

Yes, but ASCII art may not paste correctly into applications that don't support CP437 or lack proper fonts for extended ASCII characters.

FILE_ID.DIZ files use the same encoding. This viewer handles both NFO and DIZ files correctly.

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your NFO files never leave your device.
