##### Section II - Ripping

1. Select your device that you will be dumping the game to - your USB drive or SD card. ![Device type](/images/CleanRip/2.png)
1. On this screen, it asks you if you want to download a file with game checksums so you can verify the dump created is a 1:1 copy of the disc. It's your choice whether to say `Yes` or `No` to download this file. ![DAT](/images/CleanRip/3.png)

## Joining split files

If you dumped the disc on a FAT32 formatted, device, you should've got at least 2 files that end with `.partX.iso`. They need to be joined up.

1. Copy all the files that share the same name and end with `.partX.iso` in a folder on your computer.
1. Open up a Command Prompt window.
1. Use the `cd <path>` command and replace `<path>` by the path to your `.partX.iso` files.
1. Use the following command as is: `copy /b *.part?.iso game.iso`.

## macOS/Linux

1.  Copy all the files that share the same name and end with `.partX.iso` in a folder on your computer.
1.  Open up a Terminal.
1.  Use the `cd <path>` command and replace `<path>` by the path to your `.partX.iso` files.
