[MotherGunner]

Can someone also do the U.S. System Card 3.0 one along with the rear art in high res?

I'll host it with all the other manuals.... 

Great!  Anyone who can help?  =]

[Xak]

Esteban cool! thanks broski

[Arjak]

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. 

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. 

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

I might have a better scan somewhere. No promises.

LOL.  Thanks. 

[Bernie]

Sorry, it was the only one I had at the time Fifty.

Sorry, it was the only one I had at the time Fifty. 

I put full blame on you Bernie.  Feel shame. 

[HailingTheThings]

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.

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.

[IrishNinja]

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!

[Phase]

+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?

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.

[warpig227]

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

[Bernie]

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

[HailingTheThings]

I'm going to try to knock out TV Sports Football today. I'm sick and tired of everyone bashing this classic because they don't know how to play it.  Best game in the entire TG/PCE library!

Noooooooo!!!1!!

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.

[OGHUGO]

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.

[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 ?

Hell yes. I say we go for it. 

[OGHUGO]

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 ?

Would that matter?

[tknjin]

Is this only for TG16?  The reason I ask is because I have a pretty good selection of games, and I can also scan the spine cards as well if need be.  thought i'd ask

This is for any manual, PCE or TG-16, that you'd like to scan. 

Ask if you have specific scanning questions...I can create a .pdf from your raw scans (if necessary).

I'd like to archive high-quality scans (.tif), plus make .pdf...

Oh, sweet.  If you guys need some PC engine stuff, I can see what I may be able to scan for you guys.

[cr8zykuban0]

Awesome scans. Printed these out for a few games and they looks nice! Does anyone have scans for impossimole and ballistix by chance?  Thanks

Esteban, if you want to look at my collection of games in my signature. Anything in there you need .. I'd me more than happy to scan and send to you.  Assume you have mostly the TG-16 stuff, but incase you are looking for any of the PCE stuff I have.  I think it's great to have this content preserved in the best quality possible.

[escarioth]

a friend sold me a whole bunch of games when i started
and its the only one without manual/case

i could always try to see if i can also help to this section for scans

[clackattack]

Awesome thread! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule of being a total badass to be able to post such nice HQ scans for us here! Yay! Now half of my collection wont look so ugly with loose cards and discs in naked cases.

Any possibility that someone has a good scan of Dynastic Hero and Ys III?

[clackattack]

Awesome, thanx dude! By the power of our fingers crossed and a prayer to the Turbogods, your scans will surely be most righteous

Dude! I missed this. Yes, I'm sure we can improve things. I can even do a much better job cleaning things up for some....I just need folks to tell me what needs to improve...or what is missing...

Maybe links are bad?

Folks, feel free to tell me exactly what is wrong (i.e. Broken link vs. No link vs. ______).

Thank you!
