Ambitious project: Japanese Mega Drive and Super 32X manual scans

[bombman]

I'm scanning MD manuals at 300 dpi and uploading them to this folder on megaupload in an attempt to create an archive of Mega Drive and 32X manuals

http://www.megaupload.com/?f=NVQ0UJ3G

I just started this so there's not much up there yet. But I already have well over 100 games scanned, with more on the way. All that's left to do is up them to my folder.

I have most of the rarest games scanned already (not uploaded yet though) with the exception of WWF Raw because that game is frickin impossible to find. I got a great deal on some of the other Acclaim games though ($350 for Virtual Bart, etc) so I'll be getting those up later when they come in. Tetris manual I can pull from the Sega Ages disc. If you have manuals from Treasure games or sports games drop me a PM. I'm still missing a lot of games so feel free to PM me if you want to help.

Update: All Sonic games are up!
Update: All Phantasy Star, Shining, several other games with maps, are up
Update: Some more rare games up including Foreman For Real.

Great,you're the hero of the day!

These are really great, I'm glad someone is doing this.

Are you planning on doing PDF only though? I'd really like to see just the loose images myself...I guess that's a personal preference.

This is one of those projects that absolutely needs to be done though, before every copy of these manuals gets beat up beyond reading. Thanks for doing this.

[bombman]

Yeah, just PDF.

Later on I'll be scanning my SG/MKIII manuals, I have quite a few of those too.

[bombman]

I wish it would give a date for the files... It does on my end but not for the downloader, it just kind of sticks them in there randomly.

Bombman I don't know how many you have, but in case you don't have them I could scan the japanese manuals of Dick Tracy, Landstalker, Shijou Saidai no Soukoban, Golden Axe II, Valis and Super Monaco GP.

And if you don't mind I'd like to see the japanese manual from Sparkster and Rocket Knight Adventures.

Many Thanks!

I need Dick Tracy and Valis, good on the rest. Make sure you get it in 300 dpi.

I suppose you wouldn't be interested in scanning the covers for MobyGames, would you?

[bombman]

I already sold off a large chunk of them, sorry. I was thinking about scanning the covers but I figured you could just see most of them at gamefaqs.

Here's the Japanese Dick Tracy Manual:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IIQJ1ZJN

I will be uploading the Valis manual soon, I also have the manual for: Honoo no Toukyuuji Dodge Danpei (Serial: G-4076).

Take a look at the Dick Tracy manual and tell me if it is good enough, here is how I scanned:

1. Scan at 300 ppi in PNG.
2. Resized to half the scan size.
3. Saved at JPG (90% quality).

[bombman]

Don't resize it, you'll notice that I haven't resized any of mine

Also upload in PDF format if possible, I do have Acrobat but I think most scanners have the option to save in PDF

Also I don't have Dodge Danpei, thanks I'd appreciate it if you gave me that one too.

I'm pretty sure the only Japanese Genesis title I have is Stormlord. I can see about scanning it later if you need it.

Thanks, I would definitely appreciate it.

ou should post the 32x games that you need manual scans scans of.

[darkweb]

I could probably scan the Golden Axe III and Ghostbusters manuals for you. I've also got the map for Phantasy Star 3 if you're interested.

If you could scan those into PDF that'd be great (not the map)

No one's given me any scans yet
