Do you think perhaps your manual scanning efforts are duplicating those of http://www.gamemanuals.net/index.php and http://www.replacementdocs.com/news.php ?

I'm pretty sure our's are of much higher quality than those.

I scan the manuals at 300dpi .... not 75dpi like a lot of those on those sites. Then I straighten, crop and in a lot of cases clean up the scans before making a pdf out of them. Also I keep the size of the scans consistent at 1024 x 7xx .....

I started doing this due to the shoddy workmanship on a lot of the N64 manuals on those sites. The only downside of this is my manuals are a fair bit bigger in size compared to the other sites.

Hey ... you don't have to download anything anyway .... and I thought keeping a higher quality differentiates our project from others.

I'm happy to stop doing it if there's no need. It'll save me a heap of time .....

Oh yes, you're probably quite right.

I uploaded a 600dpi zip of raw scanned JPGs of a "Goemon's Great Adventure" manual to ftp.  I also have Starfox 64 and Perfect Dark if you need them.  enjoy
