Whenever I need a US Sega cover or manual, I have gone to http://www.ratigators.com/ to download what I need. Under each image TSOLFan used to have link to a 300 dpi version. Now all those links appear to be gone. I know he used to be active here, but it looks like he hasn't contributed to the site in a couple years, and his website seems similarly abandoned. He has a bunch of NES and Genesis games pending upload, but that status hasn't changed in a long time. I didn't know if perhaps other members of TCP have been in contact with him and know the reason for the removal of the download links? Perhaps he had bots hammering his site to download all his scans so he shut them down by removing the links to the full versions? Just guessing though. |

I noticed that. One of our users asked for a cover for Space Jam for Saturn. I was going to make it but I couldn't download the cover. I don't have an answer for you. Just request covers on the forum. You might get lucky. |

Whilst I commended his ethos to getting everything scanned, I found the images so badly moired I couldn't really use them for making covers. No idea why he took down the links though. |

You can either edit the link address for the preview image on ratigators.com or use the Wayback Machine to find the link and view the current version. --- Quote from: sheep2001 on May 12, 2017, 09:17:20 AM ---Whilst I commended his ethos to getting everything scanned, I found the images so badly moired I couldn't really use them for making covers. --- End quote --- I agree that they are imperfect, but I'd rather make my personal covers with one of his scans than a pixelated image from Google that I have to stretch to twice its size to fit the template. But for making official covers for the main site, you're right, the moire effect is just too pronounced. And the manual scans are far better than what can be found at replacementdocs, regardless. |

Well regardless I appreciate you making the effort for me man. The other 2 covers you found for me worked out great. |
