I sometimes see .im1 files and I would like to know what it is and how to access the files. Can anyone show me how to open one or at least a program to do so? Thank you. I see them in Aemula Oldies for iOS.

I looked and it says it is a 1 bit bitmap, but Aemula Oldies, dosbox, etc. boots them, so it can't be.

If these boot those files, they are probably disk/floppy images. If they are old booter games, I'm not sure whether you can open them at all, only boot them

Is there a way I can make an im1 file and put in what I want to boot?

I tried using winimage and put duke.im1 as the file name, but I got the error "the file C:\... could not be injected" for every file, but I did get a blank im1 file.

It was not the im1 that caused the error, it was the files I was putting in. I have an im1 with files in it. I does not boot, so I will need a way to boot it

If http://thecompuwiz.blogspot.ca/2013/03/how-to … ows-31x-in.html is any indication, an im1 file is a disk image file with a 16384-byte header. It appears that if you want to make a disk image that you can imgmount in DOSBox or open in Winimage, you will have to follow the instructions to create what they call a "partition.dump" file and rename it to a .img file.
