Thank You, Random. TCP is my home for gaming, so I post here only. I had posted a manual thread last year for all of my manual work. If BYUU will share his scans, then I will revive the thread adding completed covers, cart labels and manuals. I have a MediaFire account where I will store copies of all of my work. I accept requests but I need raw scans, so BYUU's scans are very important to me.
edit:
By the way, I am also making my own strategy guides. I have 25 GBs of screen captures and maps for DK 64. I have also started strategy guides for Twisted Metal 1, 2, 3 and 4. I will also post copies of the guides here at TCP.

lol, 25GBx of data for a guide of a game wich is like 32MB :D.
I tried to collect manual scans for watching in my computer, not for printing. I've softly retouched some of them when I didn't like much the general quality and I know it's a really time consuming tasks. Going to check for more of your work, thanks.

lol ja, but I have managed to get outside of every level. I have screen captures of every area of each level from various angles. I save the images in tiff file format for preservation of quality. tiff files grow large and consume alot of space.
edit:
here is a sample of DK64 screen captures

i work for a university as an LSP and thus have unlimited upload bandwidth. i live about 2 hrs from columbus. if there's any need for a comprehensive 60GB upload if someone has the space to host it, i can provide the legwork.
not sure if this helps, but i'd like to throw a hand in if needed.
byuu:
It's 60GB for the collection of front+back box scans (I fold them flat so the entire thing is scanned) [40MB PNG compressed per image, two images per box], and for the cartridge label + PCB scans [20MB PNG compressed per image]
The manuals tend to average 30-40MB per two pages [each image is two pages when the book is unstapled and scanned.] So that really depends on the manual. So about 250MB to 2GB per manual is to be expected.
