But if yo want perfection, the solution to this is guillotine cutter. After assembling the manual cut the one side with it. |

But some manuals have a border around the pages, and while 2mm isn't a lot it will cut off some of that border. Also I've seen a few manuals where the writing goes right to the edge of the page. So when making these manuals dvd size, it would be good to make sure there is a little bit of space between the wording & the edge of the page for those of us who can't handle our pages sticking out. ;D That being said, I think this is a long overdue project & I'm glad to see someone is finally pushing to do it. I don't have a huge collection, but I do have 10 or so saturn games. If I ever get a scanner I could scan the manuals for the games I have. I would even be crazy enough to take out the staples to get a better quality scan. |

Let me know your thoughts on this: http://db.tt/VrJxhcH That's my "pull the first one off the shelf, slap it on the scanner with a piece of black craft paper behind it, scan directly to USB, and batch rename, rotate and crop from lower left at 2800x2360 using IrfanView." I could "probably" knock out a single Sega CD and Sega Saturn title per day (Sim City 2000 may take a week :)). We've got another kid on the way, so I can't put any guarantee on that schedule, but it at least looks nice on paper. I know my scans never seemed to be the preferred option (they come 300dpi and sharp, and if you dig through my scan thread, you'll see adding some blur produces results more in kind with others). |

Those scans dont seem to bad, and seeing as these are just black and white reprint manuals I dont think the quality should be that much of an issue. Im not too worried about it. But theres definetly a good few Sega CD and Saturn games I could use manuals for so it would be alot of help, even if it is only one manual here and there every once in a while. |

I have a folder with almost all the SCD manuals in PDF form. I would be glad to share them with anyone who wants them. |
