'''D'''irect '''D'''raw '''S'''urface are used on PS3 (e.g. the XMB monthly wallpapers inside [[Lines.qrc]] and the [[XMB Manuals]] specific for PS3 game/apps)
Direct Draw Surface (DDS)
 
It seems at the release of PS3 firmware 1.00 the DDS support in XMB was not complete (or maybe not supported dds at all, this is hard to know), it was implemented gradually and only for a few specific display modes, the monthly background wallpapers inside lines.qrc was implemented in firmware 1.90/2.00 and PS3 manuals support around 4.00, this display modes are a bit special because uses full screen<!--and probably uses the background display buffer-->. But DDS was never implemented in PS3 RCO's... the PS3 RCO's doesnt even knows what is a DDS ([[RCOXML Images|because there is not an ID for DDS]]), so is not officially posible to store a DDS image inside a PS3 RCO, at the end of life of PS3 the RCO format was obsolete for several reasons and this was one of them. GIM format seems to superceed the features of DDS though
 
For PSVita the RCO format was highly modified, and at this point probably DDS support was added to RCO (this is speculative though). Later the RCO format from PSVita was inherited by PS4 and with it the DDS support, actually it looks like the whole interface of PS4 supports DDS (not only from inside RCO, but also for the ICON0.DDS of games/apps)

*http://files.wayforward.com/shane/rgbv/ (RGBV Texture Compression in DuckTales: Remastered)
The DXT compressed textures always have the same size. This is because they have a fixed compression ratio.
Used on PS2 classic as manual, they are texture files (DXT1, no mipmap?) with a minimalistic header of 0x08 byte (width*height)
For viewing them on computer, you can rebuild/create/paste (from an .dds dxt1 no mipmap existing file) an header following .dds header specs:
*On your dxt files, remove the first 0x08 bytes (which has the width and height hexadecimal information), insert on top of it the .dds header. Edit the .dds header, see the .dds section, to get the proper width, height, and texture size)
Sample: http://rghost.net/58928544 (.dxt files are original, .dxt.dds are edited for viewing)
There is a QuickBMS scripts for converting DTX<>DDS
pastebin GKdqL7xG and pastebin 3H0MDmTG
e.g. (quick note, should be move to emulation/PS2 page once figure out)
001.dxt -->  256KB -->instruction screen: 544*960? (Surface height (in pixels).*Surface width (in pixels).)
002.dxt -->  256KB -->information screen: *544*960?
003.dxt --> 1441KB -->game manual: 1536*1920?

*'''Gim Viewer v0.8''' by HSreina: http://hsreina.shadosoft-tm.com/display/cat/103
**Created for PSP it has partiall support for PS3 gim's, allows to view the most common .gim images used in ps3 (the standard format used by most gim's inside .rco's)... is not able to display gims inside rco's that doesnt uses the standard gim format (dxt5 based are displayed full filled with white)
Version 0.8 / by Hsreina - Hontoshadow
What is Gim Viewer
===============================
Giw Viewer was designed for view (*.gim; *.mig) files from "Fantasy golf Pangya portable"
How to use
==========
just Drag & Drop a (*.gim; *.mig file) on the main window of Gim viewer or use the Files/open menu to found a  picture;
you can use spacebar or backspace for display the previous or next file in the current folder.
for anybugs please mail to "[email protected]"

==BIK==
Bik is a video and audio container designed specifically for consoles. It can contain multiple video and audio tracks and assign an ID each of them, this way the system choose which one will be loaded. This allows to store multiple audio languages in separated tracks, and multiple audio modes with separated channels for stereo, 5.1, etc...
Bik files do not have any protection, PS3 games do not verify any kind of security over them. They can be fully edited and replaced, usually people replace the video track by a downsampled version of the same video to reduce the game size, it is also possible to remove the audio tracks from "foreign" languages.
