Checksum for original files came out unreadable (alien.top)

Does that mean there was bitrot ready in the original file? Something else? How is the checksum even generated successfully if it's corrupted or undreadable in the first place.

Any way to fix?

Are you saying it fails to make a checksum at all? What program? Try this one: https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck/releases/tag/v2.4.0

    I am on using hashcheck lol. It works. But when checking, it comes out as unreadable.

    What? The hash is just a number in a text file. Open the md5 with notepad?

    You aren't very clear... Are you saying it creates the hash, but then verifying fails? I don't know what you mean by unreadable
