DOL to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are DOL files?
The DOL image format is associated with DolphinEd, a currently obsolete drawing tool that could be used on Commodore 64 computers. This was one of the first types of PCs to gain wide popularity among home users, in the 1980s and early 1990s. In case you found a DOL image, it has probably been created a long time ago and the best way to try and open it is after you convert it to a more widely known format.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
