Extract text from Cache and save files (DCI)
To convert DCI Save files to another format, you need Opera Web Browser or other Other software.
To convert other file formats to the "Cache or Save Data" file type, you need software like Opera Web Browser or a similar tool.
The .DCI file extension is most commonly associated with Opera Web Browser Cache files and Sega Dreamcast VMU Save Data. For legacy Opera users on the older Presto engine, these files store cached webpage data to speed up load times. In the retro-gaming community, .DCI files contain save states or downloaded mini-games for the Sega Dreamcast Visual Memory Unit (VMU). Occasionally, the extension is also used for compiled user interface images in Embarcadero RAD Studio or references metadata for the Digital Cinema Initiatives standard.
Dealing with .DCI files is frustrating. Opera cache files are proprietary, encoded, and essentially unreadable without dedicated forensics tools. They clutter your hard drive and cannot be natively opened by modern web browsers. Meanwhile, Dreamcast .DCI saves are notoriously strict; they are an old internet-distribution format that must be converted or injected into emulator-specific formats before they will load in modern setups.
For retro gamers, convert your .DCI files to VMS (Visual Memory System) or GME (DexDrive) formats to guarantee compatibility across Dreamcast emulators. If you are dealing with Opera cache files, you may want to extract the underlying text or image data to standard formats like HTML or JPG.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DCI converter.
