Anyway I'm in proggress of uploading PDF versions of SNES manuals to my Mediafire.
They are collected from the internet.
They are reasdable and some are even near printable.

Collection big so uploading will take hours.

They will be here eventually in 7 files:

Thank you!  I'd kiss you if I could! :3

Any tips on printing these suckers? Especially with the fold out maps, how many papers should one throw one up on, and what printer setting would one use to do it? Eg a huge map like the one included for IoG, 4670x3505, 300p/i - how to freaking print it?
"That was fun, but only because this is the 22nd century. Kids who put hamsters in microwave ovens in my time get taken away from their parents and put up for adoption. So DON'T DO IT."

"But suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge."

For maps A3 should be enough (or 2 A4s)

Manuals are not printworthy but, if you really want to print them, take any exsisting manual and see ho the pages are organized.
Basicly it goes:
Page4+Page1 and on the otherside Page2+Page3. Yes it 4+1 and 2+3.
That's 4 page manual

8 page manual would be:.
8+1 & 2+7 and 6+3 & 4+5.

12 page: 12+1 & 2+11, 10+3 & 4+9, 8+5 & 6+7

So every manual has to have page number divitable by 4, if not add empty pages.

Thanks for all the manuals!  I have some that you don't have --- I'll try to go through and compare.

Also, I'm currently working on a Map project.  I'm taking video game maps - like some of the ones you uploaded - and I'm trying to stitch them together / get rid of the fold lines / clean them up.  Basically, I'm trying to make really nice looking large maps.  Do you all have any high quality (or whatever is available-quality) maps scanned or downloaded that I could work on?

Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Those are exactly the types of things I'm looking for - basically everything that is not a cover or manual, including maps, postcards, advertisements, posters, etc.

I'm going to try and clean them up / stitch together, etc., as I said before.

Thanks!

Do you have a list of the manuals missing? I'm looking through it and I have at least 1 manual for Doomsday Warrior that is not in there. Also I have the manual for Gods and the poster for Aero The Acrobat.

At this moment I'm looking for printable versions of the following booklets;

Super Valis VI
Super Mario Allstars + SM World
Yoshie's island
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Illusion of Gaia
Judge Dredd

Since these are all NTSC, the booklet should be somewhat easy to find somewhere.
Don't get me started on my PAL games (I live in Sweden)!

Green ones are, reds no. Doubt that they are printable.
Bolded ones I own, maybe the other 2 too.

Sadikyo - I love the map-idea! There are a bunch of nice video game maps in HQ out there, it's more a question of finding them and rounding them up! Some maps are by the way very beautiful, I've long wanted the classic brown/greyish travel map from Illusion Of Gaia printed on a canvas and put up on my wall at home!

Arseen - Not printable as in terrible resolution/quality?

Yes. And none of them are arranged in print order, only in read order.

Most are in awful resolution and dirty.
But some are pretty good, so by rearranging and cleaning they might get good enough to print.
