### CleanRip
|

|
|
|
1. Select your device that you will be dumping the game to - your USB drive or SD card. 
|
|
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. 
|
|
1. Now insert the game you want to dump.  
|
|
1. Set it as shown on the screen below.
|
|
If you are dumping one of the 13 games on [this list](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Category:Dual_Layer_Disc_games), set `Dual Layer` to `Yes`.

## 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.
