AMOS AmBs format is a resource container format that combines zero or more "AMOS Banks" (memory, sprite, and/or icon banks) into a single file or data segment. The official name of this format, if it has one, is unknown.

It is typically used as part of AMOS BASIC tokenized file format, but may be stored in a file by itself.

Although AmBs is a very simple format, it is not trivial to parse. You need to know how to compute the length of every type of bank.

Identification

AmBs data begins with the ASCII signature "AmBs".

Sample files

See also AMOS BASIC tokenized file#Sample files, for files that contain embedded AmBs files.
