Cool, never seen that before.

Someone (*cough* Sparky) should print up a bunch of these on nice glossy paper. :)

ok, manual is done and i modified a shitty old stapler into a TG/PCE book stapler hahaha... Cutting into the back end of the stapler allowed room for the manual to slip in to reach the spine <<ghetto style pose>>
Bernie will be receiving the first book :)... the rest i will have made up this week as my printer prints them but i have to assemble, i am happy with the results.

I got my package from Sparky today, and people...let me tell you.  These translated Ys IV manuals look FANTASTIC!!  It looks to be a genuine manual.  I am not sure who exactly went through the process of translating the manual, but they certainly go VERY well with your translated disc of the game.  Thanks to whomever went through the trouble of making this possible, thanks for the OP for the links, and a HUGE thanks to Sparky's magic he worked with these.   :clap: :clap: 

Posted by: NightWolve "Me want too!"

NightWolve, you will be pleased.  These manuals really do justice to the work you put into your translation of Ys IV.   :mrgreen:
Title: Re: Ys 4 Manual In English
Post by: m1savage on May 01, 2012, 03:27:03 PM
The translation of the manual itself came from the good ol' turbo list. It was done by someone named Hiroshi Kawai. I did the scan of the manual, cleaned it up and inserted the English text. Originally had plans to do many more manuals this way (see - http://m1sz1.com/manuals/pceman.html for early version) but as always with these types of projects, finding someone to actually do the translation seems impossible.

Glad to see Sparky taking the time to print this out. Put me down for one of these too.
Title: Re: Ys 4 Manual In English
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on May 01, 2012, 07:24:31 PM
Anyone here have a decent scan of the tray artwork?  I'd really like to see the whole package produced, that would be dope!
Title: Re: Ys 4 Manual In English
Post by: NightWolve on May 02, 2012, 06:17:51 AM
Yeah, that manual translation work does not match up with some of the item name translations, for example. It was done by somebody else and nobody since revised it to match up with my patch... Regardless, this is a purty nifty project. I wouldn't mind having a copy, especially if he's got the proper printer and paper that make it look like the real thing.

Hey, even the Ys I & II manual had mistakes!

Man, I was about to make a HQ Scan of the Disk Art.
I got about halfway to the room where I was keeping it, until I realized I had already sold it.  #-o
I was hoping one of you could clean it up a bit, and make a nice template out of it.

Americans are stuck with Epson, if they want to buy an Inkjet Printer that can print right on a Printable CD-R.
I think the rest of the world doesn't have that limitation.

Canon makes a couple printers that can print direct to disc, and HP used to but might have discontinued 'em.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkdv8c0fak0kbrc/Ys%20IV%20Disc-Scan.tif

That's the Disc Label(cleaned as best I could) and the Spine Card/Obi.

The reflective parts of the disc are almost impossible to scan without glare(for me at least). The file is 102mb and in an uncompressed .tif format at 5093x7000. I have no idea how to make a disc template, so whoever wants to can do that. Its my first time ever using my scanner so I hope I did ok.

If anyone knows how to eliminate the glare please let me know and I'll rescan it.

I don't know if you still have any left, but I'm interested too...   :D


Actually, I looked at the m1sz1.com website (linked earlier in the thread) and I wouldn't mind helping out translating other manuals too - although I'd prefer to do something like Xak 3 or Legend of Xanadu II first -- something with a translation or nearing that state.  Any chance one of those will be put up ?

I also have the translated manual for Mottekke Tamago around here somewhere...

Writing under the logo on the cover? Good call on both points. I need to use a higher resolution scan for the cover. Lemme see what I can cook up, but bear with me. Dammit Jim, I'm a programmer, not an artist! :lol: Thanks for the feedback!

Don't forget the game code - HCD3051 - underneath "printed in USA".
And the little white bullet points next to the recommended games.

I don't know if you're going to be able to make the tiny cover text any easier to read. I think the problem is the original print, not the scan.
