What is a .DSG file?
The file extension .DSG is associated with a type of file known as a Control Studio Document. This file format is specifically used by Chocolate Doom, which is a community-developed version of the classic Windows 95 game, Doom. The .DSG file serves as a save file that stores the progress of a player in the game. When you save your game in Chocolate Doom, the .DSG file is created to record various details about your current game session. This includes the version of the game you are playing, the difficulty level (game skill), which episode and level you are on, how long you have been playing the current level, and your character's status such as the amount of armor and type of armor you have, the powers and weapons you have collected, and your character's health status (alive, dead, or respawning). Additionally, it stores other relevant game information that allows you to resume your game exactly where you left off.
To manage these .DSG files, you primarily use the Chocolate Doom program. To create a .DSG file, you would typically start a new game or load an existing game in Chocolate Doom, and then save your progress. This action generates a .DSG file that holds all the details of that particular game session. To open and continue playing from a .DSG file, you would launch Chocolate Doom, select the option to load a game, and choose the specific .DSG file you wish to continue from.
It's important to note that while the description mentions Stitch Era for creating and opening DSG files, this seems to be an error or confusion with another type of DSG file used in different software. For Chocolate Doom and its saved game progress, the relevant software for creating and opening these files is exclusively Chocolate Doom.
