I really like your site. Thanks again...

This reminded me that I recall that byuu was scanning all things SNES, though, hadn't released anything yet from what I recall, so I thought to check, and found and read this part:
http://byuu.org/snes/preservation/
"I have completed this set, with the exception that I was unable to scan the manuals due to running out of time and money. However, I have successfully imaged every cartridge and its PCB layout; and scanned every box, cartridge, and PCB."
That sucks about the manuals (I don't ever plan to build a full SNES set, I'm just scanning my personal "best of" collection), though, good news on the boxes, but I still don't see anywhere to view/download them.
TSOLfan:
Also I uploaded the scans for both Super Nintendo Mechwarrior games. The first game is only the second ever "sideways" manual I've seen (the other being Shadow Squadron for Sega 32X), though, this one was fully committed and did a sideways front cover as well (Shadow Squadron didn't, only the interior pages).
TSOLfan:
Uploaded a full set of Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat game manuals.
I've got 10 or so Super Nintendo manuals left to scan, and then I'll move on to my Nintendo 64 game collection and then get back on Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis.
TSOLfan:
Also, I currently have a stash of over 100 unique Sega Game Gear games (almost half a complete set), and thought about scanning in all of the labels, though, haven't found a great way to do it. Simply throwing them on the scanner results in this:

Because of the huge "grip" at the top of the cart.
I'm trying to get something as good as this:

I'm thinking my only option is to setup my camera on my tripod and point it straight down and snap some photos with the remote trigger (to prevent camera shake).
Anyone with any ideas better than that one?

I think digi-camera, is going to be the only answer. on a white background and good ambient lighting, but no direct lighting, to avoid glare
