'''DXP''' (official name unknown) is a graphics file format that was used in some video games.

Most files use [[zlib]] compression, though some are uncompressed.

See also [[DXA (video format)]].

== Discussion ==
DXP is probably associated with something called Dexter, by Paul Burkey, and maybe the company Shoecake Games. It's not clear what Dexter ''is''; best guess is that it's a framework for portable video game development.

Executable files that use DXP are observed to contain the strings "DexterApp" and "Dexter Application".

One header file from Dexter has been found: {{DiscMasterLink|view/27092/MF_UK_178_1.iso/DiscContents/Software/Games%20toolkit/CornerChaos%201.1c/cornerchaos-osx.dmg/CornerChaos.app/Contents/Frameworks/dexter-net.h|dexter-net.h}}.

== Identification ==
DXP files start with ASCII "{{magic|DXP1}}".
