I noticed that DinkHD's graphics are still dir.ff files.

Is there any advantage to this format with the current engines?

Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
It may make BMPs load slightly faster, but in this day and age it's not really worth it.

>It may make BMPs load slightly faster,
especially if you're running it off an old HDD

But nowadays with ssds being so fast, its limitations outweigh its advantages...
