Game Manual
Shadowfox:
I have an idea and I would like peoples opinion on it....
I've been thinking how the site has all the Nintendo 64 game cases now and we are working on getting all the cart stickers.....but what about the Game Manuals??? I've seen a hand-full of them in PDF file, but with all due respect I can't print them... What do you think of this:
1.) Take your Game Manual and disassemble it (take out the staples and so forth)
2.) Then scan each sheet front and back.
3.) After you scan them touch them up like you would for a case.
4.) Next up load them to the site and just keep the scans in order.
That way when someone wants to print out a Game Manual they print the first sheet on one side and the second sheet on the opposite side of the paper. Then all you gotta do is cut the excess page, place the pages in order, put two staples where the spine will be, fold the papers and BAM! You got your self a brand new Game Manual!
...And this idea isn't only for N64 but ALL the Consoles...
So! .......What do ya think????

This would take an unimaginable amount of work, not to mention the amount of Gigs it would take up on the site.
yugiohdan6:
it would be possible to also scan the individual pages and then re-assemble them with photoshop or whatnot
but it would definitely be a lot of work to scan them...
printing would be rather easy (or VERY easy if you have a duplex printer)
it's a good idea but not very practical...
for one thing not everyone has a stapler big enough to staple the pages together (for some stuff)

The problem which comes in my mind first besides the huge amount of work is that I wouldn't want to take my manuals apart....

Pretty much. Sure it'd be nice to have as a resource, but the amount of work required is better spent on getting new covers right now.
I think in a lot of cases you're just better off paying for the manual off eBay, or something. You can find a lot of cheap manuals there for people who lost their games.
