Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast Instruction Manual Scans (+32X & SMS)

[TSOLfan]

The Shenmue: Limited Edition for Dreamcast is one of the scans today.  The only difference between the manual for the Limited Edition and the Standard Edition (which will get uploaded tomorrow) is that the Limited Edition has 4 extra pages in the back dedicated to the Jukebox disc (that was included in the Limited Edition).

One of today's Dreamcast scans, Iron Aces, has quite a bit of a wrinkle throughout the entire manual.  It's in my queue to eventually pick up a replacement (just hasn't been a priority), and once I do, I'll replace the scans.

[TSOLfan]

I received my replacement copy of Iron Aces, so I replaced my previous scans with a set of new ones (that don't have the odd wave effect).  My copy of 4 Wheel Thunder also seemed to have some noticeable wavy pages, so I've added it to the list to eventually replace.

Also, as per this post:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=1525.msg70044#msg70044

I added a few requested back insert scans to their respective folders.  If there's enough interest, and I feel up to snapping apart about 700 cases, I may come back around and do these (in addition to the previously requested Sega Dreamcast tray scans).

[TSOLfan]

There are no scans today for ESPN NBA Hangtime '95 until I pick up a replacement copy.  Though, my extra copy of 4 Wheel Thunder did come in, so I replaced the existing scans that had a slight wrinkle to some of the pages.  These weren't anywhere near as noticeable as Iron Aces, but I thought it was worth updating.

If you are referring to Sega/Mega CD version I own CIB copy.
I'll scan it when I have time.
I assume 600DPI is OK, but do you want native scans or derasterized scans?

Thanks for the offer, though, I say hold off.  The SegaFans site I linked to earlier in the thread already had PDFs of all of the Sega CD games except for Star Blade (which I started with just for that reason), so there are already scans out there for ESPN NBA Hangtime 95, though, just not from me.  I'll eventually track one down for a price that I'm willing to pay.  I posted to SegaAge (a Sega collectors forum) to see if there were any copies floating out there someone wanted to part with for a price or trade for (as I have some sealed Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast titles I'd be willing to part with and some collectors like to try and build a totally sealed collection).

The only reason I'm scanning in my Sega CD titles is so I have my own copies (I throw them all on a cheap tablet for easy access), some of their scans were in bad shape, and to offer a level of consistency since all of my manual scans are done in the same fashion (and theirs seem to be user contributed, so there was no consistency in how they were produced).  It's the same reason why I scanned in Saturn and Dreamcast games that might have already been posted elsewhere (such as ReplacementDocs), for no other reason to offer anyone interested in a "full set" of scans (including myself) consistency that they were all scanned in an identical fashion (for better or worse).

OK.

PM me if you can't track one down, and want the scans in da future.

3746 more scans later, my Sega Dreamcast Instruction Manual Scan project is complete (6994 scans total adding in Sega Saturn).  In a little over a week, I'll be wrapping up Sega CD as well.

Hey,

I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU for all the hard work you've put into this project!!!  You've really accomplished a lot, and please know that it is much appreciated!

You're welcome.  Hopefully, people looking for manual scans can actually find the site.  So, you know, tell everyone you know

Also, a quick update.  I skipped the Sega CD game Kris Kross: Make My Video, as my only copy of that is still sealed.  For this project, I've been picking up extra copies of games that I have that are still sealed, and this is one I've had yet to pick up in time for the schedule I had set.  Other than that, my only other Sega CD game that was sealed with no alternate copy was Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO.  My alt copy for that came in the mail yesterday, so, at least that one, I won't have to skip over.

Also, is anyone interested in Sega Master System or Sega 32X manual scans?  I started with Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast because that was the request in this thread:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=6146.0

I don't have a complete US collection for either of those systems (89/114 for SMS and 20/36 for 32X, and no, I don't have Spiderman for 32X, though, I do for SMS   Though, doing manual scans might just be what I need to finally get around to picking up the last few games I don't have for each of them.

Definitely interested in master system scans -  that would be fantastic.

[TSOLfan]

Today mostly wraps up my Sega CD scan project with an additional 1952 scans (8946 total when you add in Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast).  I say "mostly" because I skipped 2 titles.  I have a backup copy of Kris Kross: Make My Video on its way (the last game I had where my only copy was still sealed), so that will get scanned in as soon as it arrives, and I'll scan in ESPN NBA Hangtime '95 as soon as I pick one up.

Also, tomorrow I'm starting my Sega CD 32X scan project, though, this one will go quick, since there were only 5 games.

When those wrap up in a couple of days, that should take care of anyone looking for any manual for any US Sega console game on an optical disc format.

After that, I'll be taking a break from scanning for a few months, but then I'll be back (hint, scroll to the bottom

[TSOLfan]

As I mentioned, Sega CD 32X was going to go quick, and today wraps up the entire collection, adding 57 new scans.  Also, Kris Kross Make My Video came in the mail, so that has been scanned in and linked up in the Sega CD section (8 new scans).

Also, here's a preview of one of the things I'm working on next (after I return from a break in scanning for a while):

Sega Master System Game Catalog 1986 (USA)

A minor update.  I finally got around to replacing my copy of Pandemonium for Sega Saturn that had level codes written on the back of the manual (had a saved search waiting for a super low price since all I needed was a manual).  I've scanned in the cover to replace what I had previously scanned.  So, if you were someone that downloaded it before, you might want to download it again.

Though, I'm still impressed with the creativity of the original owner (this was one of the games that actually didn't have a page dedicated to level codes in the manual):



That was the last Saturn manual I had in my list that was still awaiting a replacement.  Unless I happen across a Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition Netlink Edition, or someone points out an issue with any of my other Sega Saturn scans (missing page, etc), the Sega Saturn chapter is closed in my book.

Greetings all,

Old time lurker, I've got three Saturn raw scans and I would like to upload them in the Raw Cover Scan.  Kindly please provide me with instructions.


Thanks.
