Resident Evil Background Images Format | Capcom | Raster Image Files |
The BSS file extension stands for Resident Evil Background Images. This file type is a type of bitmap image file that is associated with BSS and MIS. It is associated with the Resident Evil Game Series, which is a Horror Action Adventure title released by Capcom. The BSS file commonly contains static backgrounds or game levels used to make a 3D world in the Resident Evil Game Series.
File Structure
The BSS file format uses the standard Bitmap Image File, which is a Windows-supported image format. It stores image data in a raster graphic-based format with pixel coordinates denoting the position of each image element directly. The file structure includes information about the width, height, and colour depth of the image contained within the file. Additionally, it may also contain information about the compression method used for the image as well as other info such as gamma values, resolution, and rotation angle.
Similar File Formats
Similar file formats include PNG, JPG, GIF, and TIFF. All these files are image files that can be used to store image data in different ways. However, unlike these image formats, BSS files are strictly associated with Resident Evil games and cannot be universally opened with any other software outside the game.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BSS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BSS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BSS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BSS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BSS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BSS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BSS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BSS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BSS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BSS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
