RE: Wynd's Manual Scans Thread - Flavor - 05-01-2015
I had a guy ask me (via email) if I knew where to find them. I don't think he ever found one. I'll ask if he still cares.
Thanks!!!

If you need them, I can scan them (most likely next week for clean scan).
Hey Loic, I am the guy Flavor was talking about in the next post. Yes, I still would appreciate the manual very much and maybe the one for Dark Arms. I looked for both for quite some time now, but no luck.

I'll see if I can scan them...maybe I can start a scan database (though I don't have all, some NGPC boxed games have insane prices on ebay).

That would be terrrrriffic! I just found 3 manuals for download and the usual suspects for game manual downloads typically do not even have an NGPC category.

I have been thinking about this and would like to support you guys however I can. I just am not sure quite how to best do it.
We could start a new website just for NGPC stuff like manual scans. It wouldn't be difficult for me to set up a Wordpress site, but I don't think I can help beautify and maintain it. At the very least, if we wanted to do something very simple, we could just have a page of manual scans somewhere (or even just a specific thread here).
http://www.neogeoplanet.com/
Wyndcrosser has this very pretty site up already.
He even has a structure for each game to have its own page. The issue seems to be that he hasn't had time to populate all the individual games. So, for example, the Faseiel page ( http://www.neogeoplanet.com/#!faselei/cd89 ) has the Sonic data, but it does have a placeholder for a manual scan.
Please, if you guys are willing to, come up with a cool way to do this, and I will try to lend some web space. I just don't feel like I can lend the time to maintain it.

I guess the easiest way to make them available to as many people as possible is to upload them to established places like
http://vimm.net
http://www.replacementdocs.com
(or freegamemanuals.com if it ever comes up again). Both still lack NGPC categories, but I guess they would add those. In addition they could just be added to a plain website with a link to this forum and maybe Wyndcrosser could add them to his site. I don't think it makes much sense to add yet another site.

Well I've scanned the Dark Arms manual
However, even in 150dpi, I'll have to modify the size limit of the forum if I want to join them in this thread.

If you go through the trouble of scanning the manuals, I wouldn't pay much attention to size. If there is only very little gain between 150 dpi and 300 dpi, ok, but otherwise, the forum's size limit shouldn't be the limit. Any comments on the idea of posting to a place like http://www.replacementdocs.com ?

Here's Dark Arms manual, at low resolution.
Tell me what you think of it.
