Title: How do I unpack the old DOS .IMG files ?
Post by: DOSgamercrazy on September 26, 2010, 12:43:46 PM

I have a whole bunch of games, they were in .IMG format, each file size is around 1.4MB, I assume they are the old Floppy image file ?

How do you unpack them ? I have tried dcf5, winimge, none worked. I remember I used to be able to unpack them all using some kind dos command (or may be 3rd party) back in 1994, 1995, but it's been too long.

All help appreciated.

Are the files on the original floppy disks?  If so, the media tends to degrade over time and may be unuseable.

I remember there used to be some kind dos command to be able to unpack those IMG files. No windows program was needed. I am sure I can still find it somewhere on the internet, but I just can't remember the name of that command.

The computer you are attempting to unpack them on is using what version of Windows?
There is no DOS since Windows 2000.

I think those .IMG are not the normal Floppy IMG files, There's some kind of tool that I found on another 1996 CD ROM, it's called UNDISK, apperently it's designed to open those .IMG and .DDI files.

Yay, I used Undisk successfully unpacked all of the .IMG files for 3Ds, some old games and other goodies. This is so awesome !!!

What Dos program can extract an xxx.img file? I only use Linux.
