'''DIV Games Studio''' is a video game creation application originally developed by Hammer Technologies. It has a number of native data file formats.

It was originally for DOS. Later versions support other platforms.

== Formats ==
Native formats include:
* '''.MAP''': Single image
* '''.FPG''': Container for multiple images
* '''.PAL''': Color palette
* '''.FNT''': Font

== Identification ==
Most of the formats start with three lowercase ASCII characters reflecting the filename extension, then bytes {{magic|0x1a 0x0d 0x0a 0x00}}, then a one-byte version number that's often {{magic|0x00}}. Possibilities for the first three bytes include "{{magic|map}}", "{{magic|fpg}}", "{{magic|pal}}", "{{magic|fnt}}".
