How do I rip from a retail DC game?

I was wondering if anyone knew the step-by-step process of ripping the info from a retail cd. I mean, you have to be able to get the ISOs from the game itself right? Everyone is asking people to upload to their sites and stuff but I don't see anyone telling anybody how to make an ISO.

You cant. Your cd-rom cannot read a GD-ROM complety. It can only
read the low density sectors. There are Groups out there that
have a special DC that they use to send the GD-ROM info directly
to there HD on their computers. Dont ask where you can get one
(Special DC) cause you cant. Well maybe you can but I have no
idea where.

All the info you need is on the DCcopyworld site!! (You have obviously not looked very hard!)

It's in utilities and it's called Dreamrip.
It is very complicated and not for the technically naive. I am having trouble getting the CD needed to run. (first hurdle). I can make the hardware easy but the software seems to be the hardest part. Also if you expecting the rippping to be quick then you will be very disappointed. It takes 24 Hr to rip a 1Gb GDrom.
