Control Keys leaflet Page (11 pages)
Manual (84 pages)

Just look at all those contributer points

The zone is limited to 20mb per up load so you could do it in bits or put it on the FTP?

FTP seems to work the best when you a large amount of data (I put 150mbs on there this weekend no probs)

You can Zip it if it helps, I find it doesn't make much difference with scans

OK thanks Rob, it's done, uploaded to FTP site.

Now all I need is a WHDLoad patch and my life will be complete hehe

I agree mate, with all the effort you've made for the good cause, I think it's only right someone helps you out.

TCD,

Who do we need to be nice to, to make this happen?
Do you want me to pick these scans up and post them on to HOL?
How do I award points?

[manic23]

Thanks Rob, now to see if I have any other missing HOL manuals etc...

I just realised that some of the stuff I scanned was already on HOL, sorry about that

For the WHDLoad patch we just have to be patient for somebody to pick it up Hopefully it won't take long.

Yep, please go ahead and put manic's scans on HOL (PM with sekritz stuff coming up too )

Careful this is highly adictive and you get drawn right in it's nice to see your collection of stuff added to the master collection so you know it's there forever for all to enjoy and use.

No worries mate, your's could be a better quality scan to replace it

Wow thanks for those great scans mate, all cropped and ready to go too

The manual will take some converting to PDF's so they will be a couple of days if that's ok?

but the box and disks are on there now

and here are your first points Congratulations!!!!

http://hol.abime.net/hol_team.php

And a big THANKS from the whole team, welcome to the family

[manic23]

Thanks Rob glad it's on the site now. I could have easily made the manual a PDF if I'd have known, shall I re upload as a PDF? Also I realised that page 24-25 of the Manual is there twice, sorry about that you will need to remove that page.

It's ok most of the time they are needed as a picture first to crop and rotate which is why we didnt mention it. I've got them it wont take long to turn them in to pdf I'm just not 100% I can upload tomorrow.

You concentrate on the rest of your collection

Cheers for heads up about the pages.

And thanks again

[Rob 1]

I've posted them but there is a technical problem at the mo

[manic23]

OK thanks Rob, I plan to go through my game collection over the weekend to see what other goodies I may have

It's a nice excuse to go through your collection, admire and remember all those old games and happy memories.

I loved it

Can you post on this thread with what you find is missing on HOL, it will just highlight to the whole HOL team, as I'll bet they all follow that thread?

http://eab.abime.net/hol-contributio...wanted-11.html

I think those manuals may be on HOL now as RCK has messaged me, but I can't get on HOL at work to check.

[manic23]

OK Rob yes, will do. Yes the manual is on, I checked this morning. One thing that struck me was the high res of the images, i hope they are not too high res, they do look rather big when you open them on HOL, let me know if next time i should make them a bit smaller?

[TCD]

Rob forgot to resize the box scans to 1024 pixel width and the disk scans to 640 pixel width The miscshots can be bigger, but depending on the content limiting (downscaling) them to 1200 or 2000 pixel width is a good idea

I'm not even sure I have the software to do what you said, I'll have to check next time.

You are aware you're talking yourself in to more work don't you
