I run a site where I try to preserve high quality scans of my collection. My main focus for now is Famicom Disk but I recently had an opportunity to buy a large lot of PC98 games so did so in order to preserve them as best I could. I've only had time to scan in a few titles so far but I have many (100+) more to go. Also I don't know Japanese so if someone could give me the translations of the titles I can properly label them

Feel free to copy and use the scans however you please. The more people that have them the easier they'll be preserved. I'm assuming these games have also already been dumped but if not let me know and I'll work on getting that done. Also all the games will be for sale if you want them for your collection. Once I have them scanned in I no longer need them as I just care about the preservation. These are all 300dpi JPEG files. But I also have 600dpi PNG if you're interested (Though they are MUCH larger in file size)

I look forward to contributing more in the future

And I am DONE Finally! 143 games scanned in fully

I'm going to go back and dump what I had before I acquired the Kryoflux and after that I'll be completely finished with this project. If anybody wants to purchase any of these games let me know, or if someone knows where would be best for me to try to sell them. Honestly if I could get close to what I paid for them I would be thrilled, and it would give me funds for future archiving projects.

Enjoy the scans and spread them around!

I used to have this project on megaupload but now it will be on my own server. Hubz I will also be "borrowing" your manual scans for the site Will be taking submissions too. PS: All the filenames will be in Japanese. If you dont like it too bad.

Please do! I'd hate to have taken all the time to scan them and them not be used

Here's the link http://bit.ly/29j6XKv I haven't posted this anywhere else yet as it isn't finished (taking longer than I expected), I'll be uploading the rest of it over the next week or two, then I'll post it on 2ch. PS: Those Sega Master System and Mega Drive manuals 99% of them were scanned by me and were originally on megaupload. Whoever uploaded all of them to sega retro stupidly split all the pages in half, it was a solid afternoon of work putting a few of them back together that I had trashed by accident. Edit: Link is down for now, will be updated again at some point

Feel free to use them, the more the scans are out there the more likely they'll never be lost.

Because right now all you have is farmed content from Hubz behind a wall and there's no reason for anyone to use the site over Hubz website (or mine.) I absolutely agree. Since I'm only a single person, I can only realistically get so much work done in a limited amount of time. Because of this (and the fact that my goals are rather broad), I have to kind of cherry pick what gets done and what goes in the backlog. Since farming existing content can be automated to some degree, it's generally an easy job to get out of the way since it has to be done anyway. Speaking of which, I personally own a collection of about 300+ Japanese PC-Engine games I'd like to get photographed and scanned. As you can imagine, it's a massive undertaking to do it all at once so I'll probably have to plan it out a bit first. It might be easier to do it last, once I get all the easier jobs out of the way first.

Does anybody have a contact at the Software Preservation Society? I've tried joining the forum and submitting messages to get them copies of the RAW dumps but I haven't ever gotten a response and I'd like to get these RAW files archived to someone.
