Official SNES Database scans
I'm taking over now 
. Alright, so the old thread was MRN's and sort of unorganized so this thread will be more organized.
If you have any games you'd like to scan, send me your list and I will let you know if you can do them or if those have already been covered by someone else. I will update this post with the games that have already been done/are going to be done, and who's doing them. So, even if you PM'd MRN or sent him a list, you're going to need to re-send them to me.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SCANNING BEFORE YOU SCAN IT!!! We don't want to waste anybody's time by having two people scan the same game.
Another note: If your manuals are too mint and you don't want to ruin them by scanning, that's perfectly alright, we've probably got it covered by someone else, just let me know if you're doing CIB or CB.
Scan Guidelines:
150dpi jpeg files
CROPPED
See examples in the N64 and NES databases for the format of the manuals/boxes/carts.
Also, here is the PREFERRED way of saving your scans. You don't have to do it this way, but it would be appreciated and easier for me:
Box front saved as: Game Title F
Box back saved as : Game Title B
Cart saved as: Game Title C
And scan the cart back ONLY if there's a weird back label, or if it's engraved in (sort of a variant). If so, title it: Game Title C2
If/when I tell you that you can scan them, and when you're done with them, please send them to me at: supernesman@mac.com along with a list of what you have sent (so I can post it in the thread)
Any other questions? Just PM me. Thanks for all your help guys, lets try to finish this database ASAP
Here is a link to the collection tool where I will have a collection named "SNES Database Scans" to track all the scans that have been done/are going to be done.

And I'm not disorganized.
Looks good duderette. But that list I PM'd you of Shags and those posted in that thread were all I had received.
And I'm not disorganized.
Alrighty, Shags when you see this please send the scans you have to my email....unless you have them Michael?
Rubbin' Nuts!
would it be easier to just send them to MRN or do you have upload power
Well send them to me first, because I will be the one keeping track of what's been done and I will hold onto all the scans until we have all/almost all of them. Then I will send to MRN when they're done.
I have a few things I can scan. Is it safe to assume that if there are no images currently in the DB that they are still needed, or no?
If they are in the database then they are for sure not needed. If they are not in it, then still send me a list of what you've got and I can let you know if we have it taken care of or not.
I have a several I may be able to scan, but which ones are needed? I have alot of expensive rpgs, but I am sure people have already submitted them.
If you can just send me a list of what games you have then I could let you know if someone is already doing it. I don't think there are a lot of the RPG's taken care of, so there's a good chance that you may have a lot we need.
If you guys have even just a few manuals, or a few games, it's worth the trouble
Anyways, I have a CIB brainies coming. LMK if you need it

Users that have submitted more than 100 cart, 100 complete manual, and 100 complete box scans for the database (that aren't already in there).

As for who's keeping track of them, not me. There's only one person who's come close. I would say it is up to you to prove it to me...and Dain, I suppose.
As for the second question, I think that I made that as clear as it is in the FAQ.
100 CARTS
100 MANUALS (All pages, formatted correctly) &
100 BOXES (front and back)
100 carts would take you maybe an hour, 100 CIBs would take you several months...unless your a 16 year old who slacks off all the time.
