again make sure you DO NOT scale to fit, print it as is!!! :)
How would you set it where you could print front and back?
Ya that is the tricky part... Try printing the first page then flip it upside down and print the second page but lining up is a bitch at times.

Inspired by your scans, I set out to create a PDF that would print a manual with the pages in the correct order and double sided as well.  I found that a good way to do it is to take the staples out of the manual and scan each leaf separately, rename the scans in the order the sheets go together, and then create a PDF (using ImageMagick) from the JPGs. To print, I selected "Auto-Rotate and Center" on the print options, and under the printer's setup, chose "Duplex" (or 2 sided), with the short side (stapling left) option on - otherwise, the back side of each leaf will be printed upside down.

Awesome. :pcgs:

I know this is crazy, but if you (and others) created specialized files for printing reproductions, I would add them to the Archives. It would truly be a labor of love to create these .pdf's. Also, I wouldn't want unscrupulous ebay sellers to pass these off as originals. But, I suppose that comes with the territory. IMG

Would adding Dungeon Explorer 2 be a possibility? I just picked up the PCE version and reading over an english manual would help get me started

Scanning now, will have it uploaded by this afternoon sometime, along with Ys IV.

Dungeon Explorer II and Ys IV english manual uploaded.  First post edited to reflect changes.  Thanks to Sadler for the cover and inside cover images for the Ys IV manual. :)

Thanks Keith, however these scans are done at a much bigger resolution, and of higher quality.  The one they have is 2.5 meg, mine is 16.  All of these are also being hosted at TG16, estaban's site.  :)

Sorry Bernie I'm not trying to thread jack but figured this the best place to post this request.. Can someone scan the front of their Neutopia II manual? I just want a slip sheet insert for my case since I don't have the manual (the one in the original post appears to have a bright spot) and I wanted a nice print out

Thanks again for this thread Bernie, some great scans!!

Bernie

Yeah, I will get on that in the morning.  I'll also check the one you are referring too.  Maybe I could rescan the cover and replace the one thats there.  Wither way, I will PM you with a link for the cover.

No matter what I try I cannot get any of the manuals to print the correct size. Maybe it's because I am using windows 7? When I go to print in adobe reader I make sure that no scaling is turned on and that select paper by PDF size is selected. When I print this way the manual comes out slightly too small. Maybe only by a few mm.

Whew, never mind. I finally figured out a way to do this with Nero 8 cover program instead.

The name kind of oozes off the tongue.  I can host them if need be.

I believe my copy of Jackie Chan had a pretty worn manual, but let me look into it.  I may be able to do something.

Yeah, my copy of Jackie Chan, the manual was in pretty worn condition.  :(  If someone else happens to have a better copy, we can replace the cover I have with that one.

That would be a good idea.  :)  I may PM Keranu and see what he thinks.  Also, just uploaded Parasol Stars.  :)

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!  Thanks for the thread Bernie.  It is greatly appreciated.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)
BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere. You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Bernie

Nice!  That was fast!  Thanks!!  Also, just added a few.  Cyber Core, Dragon Spirit, Dungeon Explorer, and Parasol Stars

Did we ever figure out which manual is entitled "Honey Bear Boo Boo" in the .pdf?
