	* For PS1 discs only, run psxt001z.exe with the following command '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle.bin"'''. For discs with multiple tracks you will need to adjust the command to '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle (Track 1).bin"''' or '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle (Track 01).bin"'''. Copy the text output from the terminal into a txt file to be submitted with the logs. This command checks for the EXE Date.

	* For PS1 PAL discs only, run the following command to check for libcrypt copy protection '''psxt001z --libcrypt "MyGameTitle.sub" > libcrypt.txt''', then '''psxt001z --libcryptdrvfast <span style="color:red">d</span> > libcryptdrv.log''' where <span style="color:red">d</span> is the disc drive letter.		* For PS1 PAL discs only, run the following command to check for libcrypt copy protection '''psxt001z --libcrypt "MyGameTitle.sub" > libcrypt.txt''', then '''psxt001z --libcryptdrvfast <span style="color:red">d</span> > libcryptdrv.log''' where <span style="color:red">d</span> is the disc drive letter.

For example "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"

		+	'''cd "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"'''
		+	* Now you will type the code in the Command Prompt to dump the disc. For example: '''DiscImageCreator.exe dvd <span style="color:red">d</span> MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso <span style="color:#0000FF">8</span>''' This command should be changed for your specifics, "<span style="color:red">d</span>" is the dvd disc drive location, and "<span style="color:#0000FF">8</span>" is the max read speed on the example DVD drive model. You can Google your DVD drive model to find out it's max read speed, but 8 should be safe otherwise. Dump the game twice, "MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso" and "MyGameTitle_Dump2.iso", changing the title to suit your needs.
