I'll be downloading insert C for GoT

But this is great stuff! I will definitely be making my own stuff in the near future. I'm sure through trial and error, I can create some good looking manuals, inserts, etc. for myself.

The only thing i'm very new to are the lightscribing aspects. Could anyone point me in the right direction or give me the dumb version? Is it a costly process to do by myself? I'm perfectly content with a cdr that has "Ys IV" written in sharpie on it. But this has enough of my interest to make me want to try at some point, and it would be nice to have the knowledge on it for when I have money to throw down on this sort of thing.

Thanks for linking this este. This is good stuff! I'm glad it's all in one place that makes it easy to find and sift through. Any plans to add other manual translations and such on that page? I see you left the space for the Ys I & II Duo insert available.

[HailingTheThings]

Dude, f*ck yeah!

Also, someone find me good scans for the back inserts to Super Air Zonk and Dynastic Hero!

Please?

I'll add anything that fits the spirit of the page.

I just have figure out a nice way to organize the content.

Neat! Where do I send my money? I'll take 5 of each!

Please make all checks and money orders payable to "slinkyturd"

PCE vs. SNES vs. Genesis screenshot comparisons: I used to have all 1,500+ screenshots on one, stupidly huge page. Only recently did I finally have a chance to split the big page into several smaller ones. I actually still have s lot of stuff to add from the original thread....I only included some of the SPRITE COMPARISONS:

http://tg-16.com/screenshot_comparisons_action.htm#dracula_x_sprites

awack covered Dracula X in detail, but he did (more limited) sprite studies for a few other games, too (Splatterhouse, for example).

awack created so much content, but I have to dig through the old thread(s) and find all the stuff I missed...I hope the images are still hosted  (most of them are, at least for now, but some random stuff has disappeared).

For the shmups list, I may have put too much stuff on a single page, but I don't care.

Well, I guess I can give this to you when I'm done then. I've been working on an English version of Fantasy Star Soldier. I was going to give this to someone else, but I think I'll release it to the public when I'm done instead. Here is a sample the full size was redrawn in 300 DPI and the logo is modeled off of the in game sprites to look hand written.


I also have a reproduction of Soldier Blade box that I made... though I don't know if boxes are something that should be readily available for fear of them being used through eBay. I even had Sparky print and cut the box for me. This one came about because of an auction that I paid for who had the box in the image but I didn't notice the box did not come with the game. So out of anger I reproduced it.

Lightscribing is pretty cheap. I think I got my drive for under $100 several years ago in store. Amazon seems to have lightscribe drives for less that $40. Here are the CDs I used. It did take me several tries to get it right though, so expect to toss a few CDs as you learn how to get the best burn. Still, less than $1/CD. The software I used was just whatever came with my drive. I'm at work right now and I don't remember which drive I got, but if I remember tonight I'll post what drive and associated software I used.

The process itself is pretty easy. You put the disc in upside down, set it to the darkest burn setting you can, then run the burn several times over without taking out the disk. I think 5 or 6 seemed to give nice results, but this might vary according to which drive you get. After that, just take the CD out, find a super slow old school CDR and burned the bin/cue at the slowest speed you can. Truthfully, I think the slowest speed I could burn at was 8x. It works fine on my hardware and I haven't heard any complaints from anyone I've given burns to.

Thanks for the information Sadler. I figured there wasn't much to it aside from getting the lightscribe drive and lightscribe cds. I've seen quite a few on amazon for pretty cheap, though I'll have to read through some reviews and ask around. If you could find which one you have, that would be much appreciated.

And when you talk about burning super slow, at 8x, do you mean burning the actual game? I believe that's what you mean since you said, "After that....".

[Sadler]

Yep! Slow speed for burning the game data itself.

[HailingTheThings]

Dope!

[toymachine78]

I can never get these things to print in the correct size. They always turn out too small. I print them at 100% , but still smaller. I printed the GoT rear insert today.... Too small :-(

[Ayce]

Dope!

Thanks... it's not 100% accurate since I had to just about redraw everything, but its something I wanted to do after playing this game. Such a good game... wish it would have had an official US release. (Non Wii)

This is awesome.

I think this is a game that everyone most can agree that a pressing is in order. Cancelled games should exist, like a lot.
