- Description
- The DOL file format, associated with DolphinEd, is a specialized file type primarily used in the context of Nintendo GameCube and Wii software development. It stands for Dolphin Executable and is essentially a compiled program ready to run on these gaming consoles. The format contains sections for text, data, and sometimes debugging information, structured in a way that the Dolphin emulator (named after the GameCube's codename, "Dolphin") or actual Nintendo hardware can interpret and execute. DOL files are crucial for developers and hobbyists looking to create or modify software for these platforms.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
