Speedball 2 U.S. Version.
So much is different from the European version.

Thanks for the lot of stuff. I will be moving this month so I may forget to take care of everything.

I'll update this post with everything I have taken care in case someone else want to put the remainder online.

Edit: Online:
- password book
- disk scan
- box scan
- warranty card
- Konami booklet
- quickstart

Only the manual is left, but I will have to split the pages, otherwise it looks pretty dirty when displayed in a PDF file, so it may take a while longer.

No worries. Forgot to mention it's in the HOL FTP already

Just scouting to see what I can find next, it's difficult sometimes.

lilalurl · 01 May 2012, 21:48

Keep scouting

Btw, while reviewing some of the scans, I noticed that on S2 U.S. Manual Page-24-25.jpg, page 25 had a sort of diagonal folding.

You can see that for instance in the horizontal line that is crossing a triangle at the top of the page. At one point, it falls a bit lower.
Similarly, you can see the same issue repeated at the same vertical level for the words.

I believe this is probably a printing issue, in which case anyone with the same manual would have the same issue. Can you confirm that?

In case it is your copy that has a specific issue (manual page folded a bit by mistake), it would be nice to know so that whoever would have the manual could scan a correct page one day.

Page 26 shows the same issue but to a slightly lower level (I would have not noticed probably if it was not obvious with page 25). If it was an issue of a page mistakenly folded, I guess the effect would be the same for 25 and 26, so I tend to think it would be a printing issue. However I cannot be 100% sure.

Don't know why that did that, maybe it's my scanner settings. I've re-scanned and re-uploaded the relavent pages

The folder is called "Rescanned" within the S2 U.S. folder.

lilalurl · 01 May 2012, 22:23

Thanks for the quick rescan

Meanwhile, I just discovered by reading a bit that the multiplier ramp has an impact on the electrified ball (when it turns red). Picture of the relevant text until the manual is uploaded.

Have to say in all the years I've played it I never knew that either. For some reason the UK manual doesn't explain it as simply as this.

Finally I scanned another manual ... hooray

... and in addition I'm uploading it right now to the FTP server. By the way it's the very nice Sensible Golf instruction manual, which contains English, French, German and (!) Italian language. Have fun.

Thanks for the contribution.
Online.

Something a bit strange I noticed is that on your version of the cover, the "line" on the left of the page is a bit different (bends differently and looks less filled) from the one featured on the cover we already had (first picture in miscshot):
http://hol.abime.net/1865/miscshot

Not important anyway

gogoac · 14 May 2012, 19:15

I guess you mean the red marked line:

To be honest the reason of it is a "bad" scan. Because of the bright paper of the manual frontpage it reflects where the bend is.

I didn't noticed it first. I'm now thinking that it doesn't look that nice and so I rescanned the page. The new page is on the FTP server now. Take a look, maybe you want to exchange the first page for the HOL manual. For sure it isn't that important

lilalurl · 14 May 2012, 21:30

Thanks for the rescan

.
I'll try to make a new version of the manual and upload it tomorrow or another day.

BURNaba · 13 June 2012, 20:15

Hi guys,
just to let you know that new games are waiting in HOL ftp server. Hope they are OK, these are brand new items in HOL. Cheers

TCD · 13 June 2012, 20:48

Thanks a lot mate

I'll create the new entries tomorrow

Maybe you could make images of the disks, so that we can create screenshots for the games too?

BURNaba · 20 June 2012, 11:12

Hi,

they are great as always, but I'd like to add at least the main screenshot to each entry if possible. I'll start to add the entries now and hope we can add the screenshots soon

Edit: It's also hard to guess the category, number of players and so on just by looking at the Polish manual

Images of those disks would be really great

BURNaba · 20 June 2012, 12:33

I understand. I will look what I can do

I do not promise when I'll be able to do this but I will try my best and let you know. Have a great fun with adding new games

BURNaba · 16 July 2012, 16:45

Hi again,
long time no hear

my fault

I want to let you know that I uploaded screens for my previous games and added new ones. Hope they are good and they are in format what are you expected for. Let me know in any case. Bye

BURNaba · 16 November 2012, 17:21

Hi guys,
I've uploaded some new scans to HOL ftp server. I have more to scan but not had a lot of free time to do this, I add these asap. What about my previous scans? If they lost in action?

If needed I can upload them again, so let me know. Bye
