Texture Packs and Resource Packs Information

https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-how-to-install-texture-packs-custom-textures-info

DDS vs. PNG Packs:

You NEVER want to use both a PNG and DDS pack together, always pick one or the other. The short version is, if a texture pack author provides both a DDS and PNG version of their texture/resource pack, you most likely want to use the DDS version. The reason is that DDS is much faster to load than PNG and is less likely to "stutter" when textures are loaded in. There is a caveat to DDS textures, and that is reduced image quality. But, a properly created DDS texture pack will be nearly indistinguishable from its PNG counterpart.

There are several types of DDS formats, ranging from BC1-BC7, and can also be known as DXT1-DXT5. The format that users should be concerned about in regards to Dolphin texture packs is the BC7 format. If a texture pack is using BC7 DDS textures, the user must have a DX11 capable GPU or the textures will not load. In this case, the

Supported compression types in Dolphin

Taken from S3_Texture_Compression (Wikipedia) and condensed to what's relevant to Dolphin's texture support.

Codecs

There are five three variations of the S3TC algorithm (named DXT1 through DXT5, referring to the FourCC code assigned by Microsoft to each format), each designed for specific types of image data. All convert a 4×4 block of pixels to a 64-bit or 128-bit quantity, resulting in compression ratios of 6:1 with 24-bit RGB input data or 4:1 with 32-bit RGBA input data. S3TC is a lossy compression algorithm, resulting in image quality degradation, an effect which is minimized by the ability to increase texture resolutions while maintaining the same memory requirements. Hand-drawn cartoon-like images do not compress well which usually generate artifacts.

Like many modern image compression algorithms, S3TC only specifies the method used to decompress images, allowing implementers to design the compre
