I`d like to see FAQs of Japanese games instead.
Wat do other ppl think about it? DC manuals on DCE(mu) or not?
Anyway: Good news! Thx Tinku
I found this on Zophar's.net
1:39: The HQ Scans group wrote in to let us know about more manual scans that are now available. All manuals are in PDF format and are downloadable via BitTorrent. Here are the newest manuals added:
The Dreamcast Pack v1.00 is 54.2MB and contains 73 Manuals.
The Genesis/32x/CD Pack v1.00 is 45.6MB and contains 61 Manuals.
The Xbox manual Pack v1.00 is 500 MB and contains 114 Manuals.
are there any plans to put up individual manuals for download on this site ? (Dreamcast) in the future.

Manual scans are mainly for backups, usually people who can't be bothered spending a little money for the original thing - of course there's the odd occasion where someone (purely by accident) eats their original manual in their sleep :.
So no DC manuals on DCEmu?
I wasn`t sure...
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 !
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.
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
Still no problem for me if you decide no manuals on site as i have them anyways.
I just thought it might be useful for other people.
you should visit mobeygames or gamefaqs and then decide if its not worth providing DC scans for the DC comunity.
I have the origional games that came with the console and one manual is already beyond hope after the kids got hold of it.
I do have other origionals too for the DC and I do not condone piracy, 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
Dc Day Dreamer i see where your sig comes from haha!!
chau!!
tinku.
some good points I think!
A lot of the used games that I bought from software Etc. didn't come with a manual, just a cd in a generic case.
Thats true when ive bought 2nd hand games for dc no manual that would be usefull and cool.
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....
You didn't mention any PC game scans in your earlier post, and this is a DC site :P.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.

Very useful to have all the info at hand, with fighting games and complex moves especially .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.
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 .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
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 .Still no problem for me if you decide no manuals on site as i have them anyways.
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 :I just thought it might be useful for other people.
Zophar's Domain (great site): http://www.zophar.net/index.phtml
HQS (for the scans): http://www.hqscansorg.org/
Why?, when they're doing it here : http://www.hqscansorg.org/you should visit mobeygames or gamefaqs and then decide if its not worth providing DC scans for the DC comunity.
Kids and consoles don't mix, only 'big kids' and consoles ;D.I have the origional games that came with the console and one manual is already beyond hope after the kids got hold of it.
Glad to hear it 8).I do have other origionals too for the DC and I do not condone piracy
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 .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
Can't see how? - I posted at night 8).Dc Day Dreamer i see where your sig comes from haha!!
Enjoy the site tinku, and don't take my posts too seriously :-*.
haha!!
phew you like your Quotes....
Nice to see some other people giving their thoughts on the topic.
right off topic, Does anyone know of a reliable free site to host a sig?
