Files with the DPG extension are video containers for Nintendo DS handheld game consoles. Their content uses MPEG-1 for video and MPEG-1 Layer II for audio. DPG files can be created by converting other formats with programs like dpg4x or DPG Converter. Homebrew Moonshell software supports DPG files on Nintendo DS systems. The dpgshow program can also play DPG files on Windows PCs.
The DPG file type belongs to the Video Files category, along with 546 other extensions in our database. MoonShell created the Nintendo DS Movie Format specification that DPG files follow. This format works on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows, although DPG files are mainly meant for Nintendo DS. Alternate software that handles DPG files includes BatchDPG and dpg4x if DPG Converter is unavailable.
When you double-click a DPG file in Windows, it examines the extension. If unrecognized, Windows asks you to select an app instead of opening a default program. This means no app is associated with DPG in your operating system. We provide information on the DPG format and list software to open or convert these files.
DPG files are playable on a Nintendo DS by transferring them to a compatible GameBoy Advance card. They can also be played on a PC using the media drive. You can convert standard videos to DPG with utilities like dpg4x and DPG Converter. To open a DPG file, install and associate relevant software from our list of programs supporting this format. Right-click on the DPG file, choose “Open with” and select your preferred application.
