PCx86 Disk Image Formats

PCx86 works best with disk images in a JSON format, to save conversion time, so that's the only disk image format you'll find in the PCjs Project.

To convert any of our JSON disk images back into an IMG file, you can use the DiskDump API with 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

As an added bonus, when browsing the disk library with the PCjs Node web server, links to JSON-encoded disk images automatically include "onclick" handlers that invoke the API for you.

See Creating PCx86-Compatible Disk Images in the PCx86 Documentation for more information about supported disks and formats.
