Updated with my DropBox link to my manual scans.  This is everything on one compressed file.  Not sure what is going on with estes site.   :-k

dropbox . com/s/72q0zkhcakd4erd/Manuals.rar?dl=0

Had a few requests to scan certain manuals, so I decided to start posting the links here to my scans.  All manual scans are done at 400dpi and saved in pdf format.  I also include raw scans on most of the manuals.  Requests are welcome, and if I have the game I will get it up ASAP.  Keep in mind, I am not taking the staples out, so the manuals do not lay perfectly flat.  This will mainly be noticed in thick manuals, like Sim Earth.  It doesnt look bad, just you can tell.

Thanks Bernie!

very cool of ya Bernie!
if you guys are printing this stuff out yourselves make sure you do not cheap out on stock, get a very bright white sheet and look for a 28lb stock and you will be a lot happier with the results.

Added Sim Earth.  I will get Might and Magic III scanned next, followed by Beyond Shadowgate.

Joe posted Beyond Shadowgate a few years back: clicky (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=4096.msg73024#msg73024).

Cool deal.  I will make one in pdf format too.

How about Dracula X Manual??

You should let Video Game Den know, he has a lot of PDF manuals on his site and it would be nice to have them all in one place.

Hmm.  I will check that out.  Do you know who runs the site?

Also, I would love to throw a page together that has all the TG-16/PCE manuals you folks scan (a convenient place for them).

Just a thought.

Thanks esteban.  :)  I've been in touch with him, and he is getting a list together for me.  Far as getting a page together to host them, I dont care.  The more the merrier.  I will keep updating this thread as I scan manuals and upload them to my hotfile account.  Just grab em from there.

Yes, I agree: the more the merrier. :pcgs:

Since some manuals (and sites!) disappear over time, I want to host as much as I can.

REQUEST: I would like to host the highest-quality scans available, so if you could make SUPER DELUXE scans, I would be incredibly grateful. I'm going to throw a page together in the next few days to get things started :pcgs:

Thanks again!

Ok, been in contact with Kermel, and he gave me a list of what he wanted for now.  I will update this thread with the uploads as well for others and you esteban.  Going to change my scanning a little bit, to have a better quality scan.

esteban, did you grab the four I have here already?  I can email them to you if you like.  Unless you are a premium member, Hotfile limits how much you can download in a 30 minute period.  Not too big of a pain, but playing catch up when there are more than a couple files can take some time that way.

Thank you, Bernie! :pcgs:

I just downloaded Vasteel and BAM! I hit the quota (as you indicated) and have to wait 30 minutes.

So, yes, please email the files.

PM sent, bernie :pcgs:

Thanks. Will download Order of the Griffon tonight. I have a loose copy of the game so will be a nice add on.

Added several more manuals.

Bernie, you are kicking ass. I will have to hurry-up and get a working version of my "surprise" to show you (and others) for the manuals.

I am biased, of course, but I think it is very kool :pcgs:.

Thanks for sharing folks.

Nice to see some of the TG16 manuals for titles that I only own the Japan Hu for.

Thank you very much.

Woo!  Nice one SuperPlay!

Added a few more manuals today.  Addams Family, Andre Panza, Battle Royale, and Beyond Shadowgate.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done already, but I don't care.  I'm just happy it's being done now!  Thanks to everyone!

Yep.  Gonna try for getting all the US releases done.  By the way Fifty, I got the Shockman today.  Thanks!

Exile (USA) would be nice.  I have he CD and case but never got the book

I'll get Exile up for you tomorrow wily!  :)

I still need to tweak the entries (I'm not 100% happy with how I worded/formatted everything).

If things work out, we can add hardware instruction manuals, too (hey, we can dream!). :pcgs:

I have a question. Anyone know how to print these pdf manuals? I can't seem to pick or find the correct size in adobe reader that will let it fit a CD case.

A lot of times opening a PDF file and printing it results in it scaling to fit in the page.
There should be a preview or page set up so you can make sure your printing it at 100% and make sure you print it horizontal :)

I will open one of these at work on Monday and offer better advise on printing so you get the best results :) I am sure others have printed these just fine but if no one else chimes in I will let you know.

These are killer Bernie.  Great work.  I was just looking at the Samurai Ghost manual and it is excellent.  Thank you.

Any chance of a Soldier Blade manual?

So, who has the Magical Chase manual?
Or, who can tell me how to work the magic spells and what they do?  Also the stuff for sale in the shops - what do they do?
I just got a PC Engine copy, and I'm confused.

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.

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. (https://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgsad.png)

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!!

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.

I hate to seem whiny but do you have a better scan of the front cover for Jackie Chan?

Quote from: guest on 11/29/2012, 09:35 PMI hate to seem whiny but do you have a better scan of the front cover for Jackie Chan?

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.

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

No.  But I grabbed them all last night so I'll go thru em.  Probly one of the scans I used in place of one I was missing the manual or game.

I have been aching to get a darkwing duck or Legend of hero tonma copy...cuz m sure i will never find a real one....does anyone have a copies they can make?

Could you do a scan of Soldier Blade?

Sadly, I have none of the three mentioned above...  :( Maybe someone else does?

Yeah, I've been wanting a SB manual for a while now.

I can scan Darkwing Duck.

I can do Soldier Blade this weekend.

What would be the best way to print these out. Like which type of paper and what not. Would be nice to make my lords of thunder case look a bit better

Quote from: munchiaz on 04/30/2013, 11:17 PMWhat would be the best way to print these out. Like which type of paper and what not. Would be nice to make my lords of thunder case look a bit better

I print them out on 32 lb glossy color laser paper.  That is very close to the thickness of the real manuals.

Could someone do an Y's I&II manual and possibly the tray insert?

esteban, the links in post #1 are no longer working.  Something about the website being down.  I'm not sure how long it's been like this.

For anyone wanting to print the Soldier Blade manual, you'll notice the front and back cover are separated in the .pdf making it difficult to print.  I went ahead and combined them.  I don't have an Adobe account so I could not reassemble them with the original .pdf created by NecroPhile.  This at least gives you an option for printing.

Esteban cool! thanks broski

I checked out the manual archive, and noticed a couple things that bugged me.

According to the URL, the Final Lap Twin manual was credited to Bernie and not me. All the other manuals that I contributed are credited correctly.

Also, Ys 3 was NOT Ys 4 in Japan. (this isn't Final Fantasy, Esteban)

The next manual I will be scanning is the last one I originally promised, Lords of the Rising Sun. If I get any new games that have manuals yet to be scanned, I'll definitely scan them, of course. :)

No offense to the original scanner that contributed Jackie Chan, but is there anyone with a cleaner scan of Jackie Chan?  I'm no Adobe wiz so it would take me forever to clean up the cover.

Is there still not a proper scan for the entirety of the Mergical Chersu booklet?

Encourage anyone and everyone to make all of our scans better!

very nice. i will have to look into this when ever i pick up some loose hu cards.

Holy crap, excellent resource, thanks OP!  got everything i need but uh, Splatterhoue, Ninja Spirit & Vigilante. need to sort out how to print these over at kinko's now!

+1 Great resource, I've been using these to keep my originals from wearing out or getting damaged, as well as games I don't have the manuals for.

Here are some scanning tips I use on my cover project stuff that may help out.
1-Put black paper behind the manual pages, this helps reduce images and text from the other side to show through. Also helps reduce glare around the sides if the black paper is bigger than the page. (I got some black paper at an art supply store)
2-Put something flat on top of the page with a 2.5 pound weight on it for better/flatter compression, some scanner lids don't do a very good job.
3-Descreen scanner option should help on these if your not using it already.

Esteban, why isn't the last manual I sent you in the database yet? You're not getting lazy like me, are you? :P

Also, I'll try to finish up the next manual I've been working on soon. I know it's been a while since I promised it, but it's still in my mind.

this is awesome thanks for putting the effort and doing this !

Are we still on for pc engine manual scans?  If so, I'll start scanning asap.

Needless to say it did not.

Hey Bernie thanks for the manuals..  I'm wondering if I can take these to let's say kinkos or staples and get the actual manual printed and cut just like the original manual in glossy paper..  Has anyone tried that ?

Some folks here have.  I sure someone here can give you some pointers on how to get it done.  I didn't do this with that in mind, so I am not sure really.  Also, I didn't remove the staples, so some of the thicker manual scans will be kinda outta wack.

The pages will fit on a normal sheet of paper.  You will need an oversized stapler to staple them though.

Ok but does it work with the front and back images so that you can cut the paper and run the staples thought the middle ?

You'll have to reorder the sheets for that to work, but it can be done.

Yep, you will have to reorder the pages to have it come out correctly.  I use Publisher to reorder the pages and to get them the right size and I have an extra deep stapler to staple them all together.

Hope this helps :)

Down for me too for the last couple of days

I have all these scans saved in my Dropbox for anyone wanting them. Not sure why the site is down.

Can anyone scan Military Madness?

I will update the first post with my DropBox link to all my manual scans.  Not sure what is going on with estes site.

Ha!

First, I love seeing all your recent posts :) good to see you back.

On a single day (December 1, I think), I had 15,000+ downloads (or, attempted downloads) of Ys IV .rar soundtrack.

Needless to say, my budget hosting service immediately balked at 2.7 terabytes of downloads and I was scolded. Site taken offline.

What is sad is that I attempted to resolve the issue several times, but waiting for "customer service" proved to be a trial itself.

I tried to determine if the traffic was genuine (15,000 unique users) or if it was some script/service that went awry...I haven't figured it out yet.

I have a hard time believing that 15,000 real humans were interested in Ys IV PCE soundtrack...but who knows?

:)

Seriously! I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

But I am. :)

I scanned these per a request from Bernie: jelloslug.com/TG-16/Manual scans (https://jelloslug.com/TG-16/Manual%20scans)

has anyone updated this list ?

Are you saying I should update this?

https://archives.tg-16.com/magazine_database.htm?col=pub&val=man

Yes, I should.

I am sure I am missing a bunch of stuff (like French language scans)...

:)

These manuals need updating....

Yes!

Tell me what you had in mind!

I'll do it.

I am on vacation and will have free time next week.

:)

Anyone know how to print these to the correct size to fit in the game case?

Nevermind

Ok

Has anyone for photos of the full US Magical Chase Manual so I can make sense of the Japanese version . Not asking for a manual scan (unless you feel like posting one) just for photo so I can clearly see the text & make sense of it. Thanks

Hi. Thanks for sharing these. I'm getting a 404 when I click on the link to download them. Are they still available as one compressed file?

Which one did you need?  I have them in my DropBox.  Just send me a PM with a list, and I will get the links to you.

Hi, thanks. Is there no longer a way to download the whole set at once?

No, I no longer offer that.

I just grabbed a bunch, thanks a lot.

Are there manual scans for Gunboat, Hit the Ice, Impossamole, and/or Yo Bro floating around anywhere?

I too could use a hit the ice manual scan.

on another note here is the link to a u.s. Time Cruise manual that tbone3969 was so helpful to scan for me. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/708n90ngffe4f0j/AABigcm-RBoE3yBMXUwA1FfSa?dl=0

I have Hit the Ice and the others, I think I just gotta scan them.


If you tell me what you want, I'll scan them in the next day or three.

:)

Great stuff :-) Thanks for the scan, been looking for a copy of this for a while.

Here's a scan for the map that came with Y's if anyone needs it in the future. Just scanned it for a friend, here's the link:

If there is still a need for this, I can upload all the manuals in one archive for folks.

Thanks
