Yeah, I scanned then in different sections with a lot of overlap between each.  

I used this map a lot when I was playing the game so it's condition isn't exactly the greatest :(  

This is just a preview of what it is and of course the actual scan will be in pieces at 600 dpi.  I just wanted to play around a bit and put it all together to see how it'd come out.

--edit--
On the map, the center image is actually the back of the box art.  If it's easier I can always scan that in and upload it if it saves a lot of work trying to fix the creases.

I can handle the Sega Master System/CD/Saturn maps that I haven't already scanned.  There was only 1 for Master System (Miracle Warriors), 1 for Sega CD (Vay), and 1 for Saturn (Lunacy).

I finished scanning in and assembling the Miracle Warriors map.  I did the best I could with my 9"x12" scanner (ended up with 9 separate scans).  The final assembled image is 7282x5159.

Before scanning, I checked SMS Power to see if someone already put together a scan.  There was of the Japanese version, though, it was fairly low resolution.

Though, from this, I did learn the Japanese version came with a cloth map, whereas the US version was simply a paper map.  Also, apparently the Japanese version came with a minature (and NSFW box art):

Just in case you have missed my post in other topic:

SNES Posters of Lost Vikings and Lost Vikings 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?8p98ap4nj836s (In the Raws section)

That link should also contain all my SNES posters.

Someone over at SMS Power (where I also posted the map scan) pointed out something I had never noticed, which is a typo in the game title, which is printed at the top of the map, that I myself never even noticed.

Did anyone else catch that? :)

My friend recently donated an enormous, wonderfully cared-for collection of SNES RPGs to me, including a bunch of mint condition maps and posters.

Flattening them out won't harm them, right? They'll refold okay? I'd love to contribute.

Off the top of my head there's... two different Chrono Trigger sheets, Actraiser, Final Fantasy 6, Illusion of Gaia, and more.

Please do scan them as flat as you can, with heavy book on them to keep the super flat, and some extra weight.
Also scan them as straight as possible.
And scan @ 600 DPI with moire removal (aka descreen or derasterization) on, but leave all other filters off, including auto tone correction.

And no the flattening doesn't harm them, the paper "remembers" the folds.

Thank you.

Definitely excited about the maps! 

And thanks to everyone for contributions thus far!!!  I have...well, a HUGE backlog of stuff to work on.  I didn't think many people would post :)

So I guess I should change the thread title from "me" to "people, including myself" heh.  Even the raw scans are awesome though!!  I'll definitely share the ones I've worked on when I can.

Thanks again!

I scanned in the map for Lunacy (Sega Saturn).  I also went ahead and scanned in the back insert as well while I had it out.  It's in the same folder as the manual scan I posted on ratigators.com:

You know, I bought that game brand new, and it never came with a poster... :'(

Also, just finished uploading my Vay (Sega CD) map scan (same folder as my Vay manual scan, and also did the back insert while I had it out as well):
