It's amazing how one person's opinion gets twisted on a forum, a personal opinion, that's all it is - nothing more. Let's hope people see the humour in this and not take things out of context....

Well I dont know about you but when i buy a game for the pc i back it up because the origionals do tend to get scratched.
the same can apply to manuals surly !
You didn't mention any PC game scans in your earlier post, and this is a DC site :P.
Quote:
I personaly find having a copy of the manual helpful
i can print out the key combos and pin them next to the pc for reference when playing a game and keep the origional safe in its box.
Very useful to have all the info at hand, with fighting games and complex moves especially :).
Quote:
Also some manuals are worth having just for the GFX content they are really well designed and the art work can be worth more than the game its self, take off the blinkers
DCDayDreamer takes off his blinkers...True, but I don't know many people that stare at a manual for a couple of hours, or many that say "I only bought the game for the manual, take a look, it's great" - all the people I know just spend the time actually playing the game for that length of time. It would cost the price of the game again (and more in most cases) to print out, cut, staple and try to reproduce something that would never equal the quality of an original manual. For the artwork to be worth more than the game you'd have to get hold of an original print of the artist's work (maybe get an autograph for added value), either that or get hold of 'an original' manual from a limited edition or rare game :D.

Still no problem for me if you decide no manuals on site as i have them anyways.
I'ts not my decision to say 'no manuals on site', this is a Dreamcast homebrew site, if down the line we expand to hosting commercial info and manual scans, all well and good :).

I just thought it might be useful for other people.
Maybe you should have posted a link to the site/files, now that would be useful for others. Never mind, I've done it for you ;):
Zophar's Domain (great site): http://www.zophar.net/index.phtml
HQS (for the scans): http://www.hqscansorg.org/
Quote:
you should visit mobeygames or gamefaqs and then decide if its not worth providing DC scans for the DC comunity.
Why?, when they're doing it here ;): http://www.hqscansorg.org/

I have the origional games that came with the console and one manual is already beyond hope after the kids got hold of it.
Kids and consoles don't mix, only 'big kids' and consoles ;D.
Quote:
I do have other origionals too for the DC and I do not condone piracy
Glad to hear it 8).
Quote:
all the roms i own too i have the origional carts and that isnt many unlike the hundreds of roms i dare say people using this forum have illegaly
Once again, glad to hear it, it must have taken ages to figure out how to rip those roms out of your original carts though. I've searched the forum to no avail, there's nobody boasting about those hundreds or illegal roms you mentioned, let me know who it is so the admin can give him a severe talking to :o.
