PCx86 Disk Image Formats

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

There are several ways you can convert a PCjs JSON disk image back into a binary IMG file:

• Load the desired disk into a PCjs machine and click the Save button
• Use the DiskDump API (available only in the PCjs Node Web Server)

When using the DiskDump API, 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 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 in the PCx86 Documentation for more information about supported disks and formats.
