All right, let's see if I got this figured out!

There should be 4 shots total. I had compressed the heck out of them originally, so I may go back and take newer, full-res shots if these don't come out well. The manual stapled together very well, and the paper I used (taken from an old sketch pad that I trimmed to fit in the printer ;) ) is easy to handle and grip. The first time I printed a manual, I used higher-quality matte photo paper, and while the colors were great, the paper didn;t have much texture, and I found it hard to hold onto the manual!
I didn't print the inner pages at the highest setting, so you may notice some vertical lines from the printing. I didn't want to over-saturate the paper and cause the front of the page to bleed into the back. The end result is a manual that is accurate, easy to read, and easy to hold. I *could* have done a better, higher-quality job, but I'm still happy with the result!
More to come soon! I hope others are working one these, too - I'd love to see 'em!

My spare copy of Virtua Athlete 2000 finally arrived, so I've got that linked up where I had previously skipped it.
MediaFire seems to be acting up at the moment, so you won't see the image previews, but the zip should still download just fine.

I think this looks fantastic! I'm glad someone is finding a use for these!

Is there any chance you could add front and back inlays to the scan folders for the Dreamcast games? A lot of the games you've scanned the manuals for don't have decent quality back inserts or inlays available of the original covers and it would be a great help. ;D

It's pretty easy to slide out a manual, though, I always loathe cracking open cases to pull out the tray inserts, especially 247 times.
With that said, I'd like to think between these two threads, I've scanned the front and back of the inlays that people have needed:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4680.0
So, I'd rather handle these on a case-by-case basis (pun not intended).
Then again, I may change my tune in a few months, as I've been scanning manuals non-stop since July in my mornings before work, fortunately, with just a few months left to wrap everything up. Once I get some distance from that (MediaFire tells me I've uploaded 7100+ individual scans thus far), I may feel up to the task, because, I mean, what's another 440 :) (247 inserts times 2 for front and back scans minus the 27 games in my main scan thread I've already done times 2 for front and back :))

Seems MediaFire is having some issues at the moment, in that, clicking my links show no files. I noticed this same issue yesterday morning, though, by the time I checked again in the evening, everything was working again. I checked a few other MediaFire links (other than my own), and they all seem to have the same issue, so thankfully, it's not just me.
They scans are all there for today's uploads, though, up to MediaFire as to when they'll work.
