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

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.

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!

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.

I'll fix that up.  :pcgs:

UPDATE: Ha! One link was good, one was bad. You can be 50% upset. I should get rid of the redundant links...not sure why I keep two. Anyway, both links should work now.

I'd love everything to be pristine, but until then, enjoy the madness.  :pcgs:

UPDATE: Dear Lord, that is an atrociously battered cover.

I might have a better scan somewhere. No promises.

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

You'd think someone by now would have the testicular fortitude enough to take one for the team and gently remove the staples and get that shit going already.

Hey, Mossman guy thing, how about you?

Those scans will be charged via PayPal to access.  100 bucks a pop. No, wait..  500 bucks.

+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.

Arjak

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.

I got this game to try and help me figure out the rules of this curious game you call football.
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.

OGHUGO

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 ?

NecroPhile

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.

I got a stupid oki printer and I can never get the front page to line up with the back page no matter what I do..  I tried this on some neo geo manual scans I had ended up just forgetting about it..  Do you think people at kinkos will look at you weird if you go and ask them for this ?
