→‎In event of split files: Clean-up / align handling between platforms (also I presumed the old Linux code was wrong, unless the files were named "part1.iso", etc).

 If you were to rip a game disc to a storage device that is not large enough to save the entirety of it at once, CleanRip features '''New device per chunk''' specifically for this situation. Set it to '''Yes''' and set '''Chunk Size''' to max possible ('''1GB''', '''2GB''', '''3GB''', or '''Max'''). When CleanRip is asking for the next device, remove it from the Wii and move the first or so ISO file onto your PC to free up and use it again. When you have received all pieces, check in the next section.

+==== Joining Split Files ====
-You will need to put together the pieces of the ripped ISO yourself, or else Dolphin will not run it (or will just boot to a black screen).
+Games ripped to multiple pieces must be joined together to work with Dolphin.
+* Make sure all of the pieces are named using the "GAMEID.part#.iso" syntax.
+* Place all the pieces in the same directory.
+* Start a command prompt or terminal window and run the commands below, replacing &lt;directory&gt; with the files location.
-*On Windows, the easiest way to combine disc parts is to run an automatic process through a batch file. Make sure all of the pieces use the "GAMEID.part#.iso" syntax, starting with zero, then place them together in a new folder (one game per). Create a text file within that folder and copy the following text into it:
+'''Windows:'''
+<pre>cd &lt;directory&gt;
+copy /b *.part0.iso+*.part1.iso+*.part2.iso+*.part3.iso fulliso.iso</pre>
-:<pre>copy /b *.part0.iso+*.part1.iso+*.part2.iso+*.part3.iso+*.part4.iso fulliso.iso</pre>
+'''Linux/OS X''':
+<pre>cd &lt;directory&gt;
+cat *.part1.iso *.part2.iso *.part3.iso &gt; fulliso.iso</pre>
-:Adjust the above code as required if you have more or fewer parts. Save the document as a .bat file, then close it. Now, simply run the batch file, and a command prompt will appear and process the commands within, joining the files.
+Adjust the code as required, if you have more or fewer parts.
-*On Linux and OS X, name each part "part#.iso" and place them in a folder together. Run the terminal, and set the current directory to the folder with "cd <directory>" command, then run "cat part1.iso part2.iso part3.iso > fulliso.iso", adjusting with more or less parts as required.
