PCx86 Disk Image Formats
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
PCx86 works best with disk images in a **JSON** format, so that's the only disk format you'll
|
|
find in the [PCjs Project](https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs).
|
|
|
|
There are several ways you can convert a PCjs **JSON** disk image back into a binary **IMG** file:
|
|
|
|
- Load the disk into a PCjs machine and click the **Save** button
|
|
- Use the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump) (available only with the
|
|
[PCjs Node Web Server](https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs/blob/master/server.js))
|
|
|
|
Note that whenever you **Save** a disk inside a PCjs machine, it is saved exactly as it exists
|
|
at that point in time. So, if you made any changes to the disk, those changes will be preserved
|
|
in your saved copy. Otherwise, the disk image should be an exact copy of the original PCjs disk.
|
|
|
|
When using the [DiskDump API](/api/v1/dump), set the *format* parameter set to `img` instead of `json`.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
{{ site.url }}/api/v1/dump?disk=/disks/pcx86/dos/ibm/2.00/PCDOS200-DISK1.json&format=img
|
|
|
|
The [HTMLOut Component](https://github.com/jeffpar/pcjs/blob/master/modules/htmlout/lib/htmlout.js)
|
|
of the PCjs Node Web Server also generates "onclick" handlers for links to **JSON** disk
|
|
images that automatically invoke the API for you.
|
|
|
|
See [Creating PCx86-Compatible Disk Images](/docs/pcx86/#creating-pcx86-compatible-disk-images)
|
|
in the [PCx86 Documentation](/docs/pcx86/) for more information about supported disks and formats.
