DMP is an image format used in the Interactive Girls Club series of adult games. They are uncompressed 8-bit images with an optional embedded palette.
In most cases, the format is used to store small sprites, but there is a format that combines four 320×200 images to a larger 640×400 one. One file, l2.dmp in the files of the Jo Guest In The Milk Round game, is used as panning image in the minigame Jo Guest Shaves, to complete the GX2 image at index #160 in the game's SHOWPART.SLB archive.
File format
The format has a header followed by simple uncompressed 8-bit image data. Unlike GX2 Format images, the embedded colour palette is 6-bit VGA, and not 8-bit.
Header
The file starts with the following header:
| Offset | Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | BYTE | Magic1 | Magic number 0x01 |
| 0x01 | BYTE | PaletteIndicator | 1 if the file has an embedded colour palette, otherwise 0. |
| 0x02 | UINT16LE | Width | Image width. |
| 0x04 | UINT16LE | Height | Image height. |
| 0x06 | UINT32LE | Padding | Padding (empty). |
| 0x0A | BYTE[0x300] | Palette | Color palette, in 6-bit RGB VGA format. Only present if PaletteIndicator is set to 1. |
The image data follows this header, at index 0x0A if no palette is present, or 0x30A if there is a palette.
Combined Images
Even though the file format can technically save images up to 65535×65535, in reality it appears to be limited to 320×200. There are three 640×400 images used in the game Adult Film Camera Man, but they are built up from a set of four 320×200 .DMP files with suffixes "-tl", "-tr", "-bl" and "-br", indicating respectively "top left", "top right", "bottom left" and "bottom right". The "-tl" file in the set contains the colour palette for all four files; the other files contain no embedded palette.
Tools
The following tools are able to work with files in this format.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engie File Converter | Windows | Yes | Yes | Yes | N/A | N/A | Can load and combine the sets of four, but to convert it back, it requires the user to split the 640×400 image into 320×200 frames and save these as separate files manually. |
