Title: How to print manual.
Post by: Arseen on May 19, 2011, 04:16:35 PM: This is answer to a question on other topic, that's why it speaks about 28 page manual.
This will be edited later and turned into how to create a manual.

STEP ONE:
when all 28 pages are cleaned they must be paired:
28+01 It's important to start like this
02+27 Equally important is this switch
26+03 Switch again
04+25

And so on...
Remeber to check that the sum is always the same.

STEP TWO:
Now print 28+01 page on suitable paper EXACT CENTER.
Turn paper around MIND THE ORIENTATION. if the top of the page came facing left, after the turn it should still face left.
Print 02+27 page to the other side Again Exact center.

Do the same on the other pages in order.

STEP THREE:
Cut the double pages cleanly to same size, and fold in half in correct way.

STEP FOUR:
Stack the cut double pages in correct order.

STEP FIVE:
Stable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few things:
- Use laser printer so the pages won't smudge.
- Use thin enough paper, maybe semi-matte to matte.
- Cover page can be thicker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to create your own manual from scratch number of the pages must be divitable by four, or after pairing number of double pages mus be even number.
If not, add extra pages, fil them with images for example.

Post by: amarthar on May 23, 2011, 03:38:49 AM: When I'm ready, I'll share everything for that repro. Manual, box, label, the insert carton. I'll even make an UGC cover for it.

Nice, thank you! :D

Out of those I need manual, and maybe the UGC to replace the current.

Some N64 games have PDF manuals on the site.

Also some for Genesis game hacks can be found in boards.
