I give you access to my OneDrive account so you can take any photo you need from my collection.
It took more than a month, but I have updated GenMSX with the scans collection.
The collection did not contain any big surprises, all the software, apart from just a few tape magazine style titles, were already in GenMSX, but there were a few releases like from Dro Soft and System 4 that were previously missing.
The vast majority was indeed Spanish tape software, with just a few disk titles and a few Japanese titles.
Thanks r!

* Incomplete here means not all languages were scanned, also some of these scans are of low quality.
Manuals for early Konami games released by others (Pooyan, Sparkie, Juno First, Crazy Train, Computer Billiards) are also missing, as are the Casio published editions of Konami games.
If your looking for Konami manuals, go to GenMSX and lookup the game, under the respective release you will see a "Manual View online" link if the manual is available on archive.org. If your aware of any other manuals that have been preserved, please provide a link, or if your willing to scan your copy, have a look at the first page of this thread as to how to scan (300 dpi and such).
The links are dead,someone could replace them
Can´t find RC724 Konami baseball neither...
Are any new links available for this? The posted ones are (still) dead...
Regarding the naming scheme: using backslash in the name prevents using the structure on windows machines, can we use an alternative (did anyone already chose an alternative?) ?
If someone needs space to host the files, you guys know where to find me...
Hello there.
It´s been a while since the last update, hehe.
But we were working all this time.
Here´s the link to our account at Mega:
https://mega.nz/folder/1Us31YCY#pxBSe5RpPFZIQrWOfBf3lw
Right now there´s 158Gb of data uploaded to our account. We pay 50€ each year for a maximum of 200Gb so if anyone want to help with a donation or offer space to host (and the traffic) just contact me.
There´s a file named [MSX Scans] (2022-03-14).xml. This is the SuperDat file for RomVault. This way if you have some of the old files around your HD you can check them and see what´s missing.
At this moment we are working on creating son PDF files with info of what´s scanned at the moment and also the resolution of the scans.
We replace many of the old files (300 dpi, png) to better resolution (600dpi, tiff) and add also many other stuff.
Now there is few more than 1200 titles scanned (not all complete, but 90% of them)
If you want to help us (we make for fun) just contact me at:
tolvatar2k3 at hotmail dot com
Also, if anyone see an error on some of the files tell us.
Thanks to anyone who contribute in all this years of work.
Nice work Tolvatar!
