I started a Sega Saturn instruction manual scan project over at The Cover Project:

Today, I started up my Sega Dreamcast project, and with it being Halloween, I queued up all of the "horror" related games:

From here on out, I'll be pulling one from each end of the alphabet (similar to what I did/still doing for Sega Saturn).

I also got a jump start on my Sega CD project, clearing out the "horror" themed games there as well.

With access to complete/near complete collections for all three (only missing Daytona USA Netlink for Saturn and ESPN NBA Hangtime for Sega CD), I thought I'd take a crack at scanning in all of the NTSC-USA manuals for all three systems. These are all 300dpi scans, 75% quality JPG compression.

For each of the games I scan, I also upload a zip with all of the image in a single download. Just click the "File Manager" button in the upper right to see them.

If someone wants to grab them from my site, and turn around and convert them to PDF and upload them here, you are more than welcome.

Sounds like an excellent project, thanks for sharing here! Does your near complete collection include Japanese titles?

Sorry for the late response, I thought the forum would send me a notification of any replies.

Glad I can share, and as for Japanese titles, I only have a sampling, mostly fighting games. I can't read/speak Japanese, though, one of my cousins does, so that, along with the fact that I do have space limitations, have kept me from collecting more.

Here's the list of NTSC-J titles I own:

Sega Saturn
Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku
Christmas Nights
Daytona USA
Dead or Alive
Deep Fear
Dragon Ball Z Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu
Dragon Ball Z Shinbutouden
Dungeons & Dragons Collection
Fighters Megamix
Fighting Vipers
Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter
Mobile Suit Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 3 ~The Judgement
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei
Pocket Fighter
Vampire Savior
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Fighter Remix
X-Men Vs Street Fighter

Sega Dreamcast
Capcom Vs SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001
Guilty Gear X
King of Fighters 1999 Dream Match, The
King of Fighters 1999 Evolution, The
King of Fighters 2000, The
King of Fighters 2001, The
King of Fighters 2002, The
Marvel Vs Capcom
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Sonic the Hedgehog Birthday Pack
Street Fighter Zero 3: Saikyō-ryū Dōjō

3248 scans and 4GB+ later (8GB+ if you count the zip files), my Sega Saturn Instruction Manual Scan project is complete. I'm still scanning Sega Dreamcast, and Sega CD I'll start scanning in next year.

Is someone actively converting this scans? I'm considering scanning some of my manuals, but if no one is able to convert them to PDF then I may just do that myself.

I'm also interested in seeing TSOLfan's scans turned into docs for this archive.

I'm not finished with Sega Dreamcast yet, though, I've gone ahead and also started my Sega CD scans. I'm not stopping with Sega Dreamcast, I'm just scanning both in at the same time.

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.

With all of the SPAM, this post may go unnoticed, but, here it goes...

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

As I mentioned, Sega CD 32X was going to go quick, 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):

I can't wait until you get to the Sega Genesis. Quite a number of manuals from there I'm looking for.
