Few days ago I promised to someone that I eventually will have CIB version of PAL Dragon Ball Z: Ultime Menace (Super Botouden 3).
Today is the day I finally won one.
PAL cart in French, box in French, one manual in French and another manual in Spasnish.

That led me to want to try to whip up manual for the game in English, same thing with Dragon Ball Z: la Legende Sayen (Super Botouden 2).
Translation help would be appriciated.

To get things started I have low quality scan of Dragon Ball Z: Ultime Menace manual in French:

Dragon Ball Z: la Legende Sayen (Super Botouden 2) manual scans I can do maybe Friday, both French and the Spanish one.

I'll have ago at the French one.  Will be good practice for me, although, not sure how many of the words in a dragon ball manual come into everyday conversation. Lol.  ;)

Edit:  just looked through the attachment, and doesn't look difficult at all.  I'll start translating the text tomorrow, and if you can get me high quality scans I'll put a PDF of the manual together.

Nice, thanks.

I'm pretty sure that I would help translating the French Manual into English.

FRA manual of DBZ3 scanned, will upload in few hours, after my bro stops playing Halo 4, as I promised him not to hog the bandwidth while he is playing.
Scanning ESP and JAP manuals, and the boxes mean while.

DBZ2 follows tomorrow.

Arseen - the "Mode Demonstration" referred to on page 8 - what does it actually do?  I might be missing something, but my understanding of the French description doesn't make sense.

The French sentence is:
Quelque soit la fonction de l'ordinateur, c'est un mode qui permet un combat automatique. Utiliser les commandes I and II pour les choix de parameters.

My translation would be:
Regardless of the computers function, this mode allows automatic battle.  Use controllers I and II to choose the parameters.

This makes no sense to me at all.
A - my translation must be wrong (can anyone with better french help out) and secondly, what do you use the controllers for if it's a Demo Mode?

Other than that it's coming along nicely.  Page 4 was a pig to remove all the text!!!

I'm not home now nor have I played the game yet, but I think it's COM vs COM mode where you just choose the characters and the parameters of the fight and then see how two computer controlled fighters duke it out.

OK - i'll go with that and come up with a description that sounds correct.  Cheers.  

Removing the text on page 11 is a pain in the ass!!!

No need to translate, I already have genuine English manual.
I think it had French and German as well, can't check now.
Does anyone want me to scan it?

And yes that is the actual genuine Spanish manual in all it's magnificent glory.
