A disk image is a file in which the entire structure of a disk , flash drive or other media is recreated and saved; this allows you to write images to media or carry out emulation using special utilities. This is a kind of virtual disk from which you can install games and applications.

There are more than a dozen image formats, all of them perform essentially the same functions, the most popular is ISO. Most often, it is in it that game images are emulated. This is due to its simplicity as well as good compression.
