How to use dd command to write a PC booter floppy image to a USB flash drive?

I have some PC booter images from new homebrew games by this Japanese developer: http://inufuto.web.fc2.com/8bit/

As I know, those images have a 360k size, and are self-bootable by the old IBM PC (8088, 8086), but they can’t be read by MS-DOS, nor do they follow the FAT standard.

I would like to play those simple games on my Book8088, which is a new PC-XT in a laptop form-factor that it is being sold on Aliexpress.

I was thinking about using the dd command from Linux – I use Mint, BTW – to write those images in some kind of raw format to a USB flash drive.

Maybe anyone would have an example on how could I do such a thing. Sorry if this question sounds silly, I’m still learning bash and Linux in general.

Thank you very much!
