$S to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are $S files?

The $S format represents a Hobetta picture image associated with one of the first brands of personal home computers available in Europe: the ZX Spectrum. Released in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd., this line of computers supported an 8-bit color rendering, which was considered an advanced technological innovation when compared to earlier version such as ZX 81 that only supported black-and-white. Though rarely used nowadays and compatible with a limited number of image viewers and editors, the $S format can be converted to more popular extensions for easier handling.

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.
