What is a QST file

QST files mostly belong to Zelda Classic. QST files are specialized data containers used by various software applications. They often store information related to game quests, quiz data, test results, or LED sign configurations.

Game quest files: Many games use QST files to hold quest details, objectives, scripts, and event data. Titles such as Zelda Classic, HeroQuest, Quest 3D, and even Diablo III employ similar formats.

Quiz and survey files: In some cases, QST files contain quiz questions and survey information. These files can be XML-based and use UTF-8 encoding for clear text structure.

Test result storage: Software like TestStand (see TestStand) uses QST files to store and manage automated test data.

LED sign configuration: Some systems, such as Q-SYS Designer from QSC Audio (QSC Audio), employ QST files to design and manage LED sign displays.

FilExt.com tip: This file is not a standardized format, so its internal structure depends on the program that created it. In some cases, you might view it as plain text (especially if it is XML-based), but other versions are intended to be read only by their native applications.

QST format details:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program.
