Hi you guys.
As antime.org seems to be broken, has someone kept the Mega/Sega CD technical manuals, the OCRed ones ?

edit : http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-downlo ... fileId=549 seems to be corrupted

As of this exact moment they're uploading, but the following links will work in a couple of hours:

http://nemesis.hacking-cult.org/MegaDri ... Manual.zip
http://nemesis.hacking-cult.org/MegaDri ... Manual.zip
http://nemesis.hacking-cult.org/MegaDri ... Manual.zip
http://nemesis.hacking-cult.org/MegaDri ... Manual.pdf
http://nemesis.hacking-cult.org/MegaDri ... ial%29.pdf

The PDF's have been assembled by various people from the raw scans. They're essentially just the individual scans shoved into a PDF, which makes them much easier to browse. They're probably the ones you want to work with. BTW, does anyone know of a PDF version of the 32x scans? If not, I'll create one if anyone's interested.


And as a sidenote, it seems the URL tag doesn't work, and we can't use HTML in posts, so I can't see any way to create a link to a URL that has a space in the path. :?

Yeah, I've got the transcription. Still, it's nice to have the reassurance of the original scans to refer to. In that many pages, there has to be at least one typo.

You could use %20 for spaces. I can't remember what works with brackets though.

Oh, you're the guy who did the transcriptions. Kudos for that man. That must have been a hell of a lot of work. Personally, I find I tend to prefer to read from the original scans, but there's one thing the transcriptions are invaluble for, and that's ctrl+f. I've considered doing a new transcription of the Genesis manual for that alone, even if I'd still probably work from the scans.

Thanks, I didn't think of that.
