Noticing that genesis manuals while easier to get ahold of then Snes games, I noticed that all the GOOD manuals are oftentimes missing. So I'm starting to archive my old manuals. Here's some scans of Warsong to show them. They're at 300 dpi. I was considering 600, but I just wanted them readable, perhaps made into acrobat files. But as they are, they're still completely printable. Tell me how my sample quality is.

not bad. I suggest heading over to replacementdocs.com, where not only can you get good pointers on archiving, but can upload and download many manuals in a community that is all about this.

I'm looking at the site. Thanks. But the file restrictions are so high. 7 mb per manual? Some of those manuals aren't printable level dpi either. The warsong manual I scanned in its entirety is about 13 mb big zipped. And every page is black and white. This is going to be incredibly trying when scanning in some bigger manuals like Buck Rogers and Might and Magic.

Try http://www.thecoverproject.net. Was just covers, but now I think they are archiving manuals and other parts of the packaging (even including labels).

I already scanned in these two manuals.

Warsong "unfortunately I scanned at 200 DPI for most of this manual"

I often use replacementdocs.com for any missing manuals I might have.

I just uploaded PS4. Some feedback or critique would be appreciated in the quality of the work.
