Alternative methods

Common issues
File won't open
Most image viewers do not natively support the BMQ format.
- Try Microsoft Paint on Windows or Re-Volt if you have the game.
- Use a conversion tool to convert BMQ to PNG or BMP.
Corrupted or unrecognized
The file may be damaged or not a valid BMQ.
- Verify the file came from a Re-Volt installation or backup.
- Try opening with a hex editor to confirm it has BMP-like structure.
Security note
BMQ files from game installations are generally safe.
