Dang, that manual looks nice, as does the Turbob branded stapler.

(...but that's my stapler... okay, that's the last straw... I'm gonna burn the building down.)

Anyone want to translate the Legend of Xanadu manual, if it hasn't been done so already? I'd like to see what that Q&A part is all about.
Quote from: Bonknuts
Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

ok, manual is done and i modified a shitty old stapler into a TG/PCE book stapler hahaha... Cutting into the back end of the stapler allowed room for the manual to slip in to reach the spine <<ghetto style pose>>
Bernie will be receiving the first book :)... the rest i will have made up this week as my printer prints them but i have to assemble, i am happy with the results.






yay!

I got my package from Sparky today, and people...let me tell you.  These translated Ys IV manuals look FANTASTIC!!  It looks to be a genuine manual.  I am not sure who exactly went through the process of translating the manual, but they certainly go VERY well with your translated disc of the game.  Thanks to whomever went through the trouble of making this possible, thanks for the OP for the links, and a HUGE thanks to Sparky's magic he worked with these.   :clap: :clap:

NightWolve, you will be pleased.  These manuals really do justice to the work you put into your translation of Ys IV.   :mrgreen:

The translation of the manual itself came from the good ol' turbo list. It was done by someone named Hiroshi Kawai. I did the scan of the manual, cleaned it up and inserted the English text. Originally had plans to do many more manuals this way (see - http://m1sz1.com/manuals/pceman.html for early version) but as always with these types of projects, finding someone to actually do the translation seems impossible.

Glad to see Sparky taking the time to print this out. Put me down for one of these too.

Anyone here have a decent scan of the tray artwork?  I'd really like to see the whole package produced, that would be dope!

Yeah, that manual translation work does not match up with some of the item name translations, for example. It was done by somebody else and nobody since revised it to match up with my patch... Regardless, this is a purty nifty project. I wouldn't mind having a copy, especially if he's got the proper printer and paper that make it look like the real thing.
