then find out the website of said altcoin and download the latest version of that wallet and try importing your wallet.dat files in them and see if it works. it should since good developers make their wallets backward compatible. if you had issues, try downloading the old version of the wallet (eg. https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases) and import your wallet.dat there but just export your private keys and import them in the latest version of the wallets. if nothing worked you may be able to find tools on github to read the wallet.dat file only and try to extract the private keys in order to import them in newer versions. if you have considerable amount you can even pay someone to code something for you real quick. but be careful what you use and don't trust anyone easily.
