DOWNLOAD YOUR SEGA ARCADE MANUALS HERE!
This is an astonishing find. This is one of THOSE FINDS. This is a man with a metal detector unearthing £24m of gold coins beneath the surface of a recently ploughed field.
Behold, a virtually complete SEGA arcade machine manual depository, from the glory days until now. Some of the PDF files are enormous – please only download the ones you really want, else poor old SEGA Total Solutions will find itself with a broken web site.
“Ever wanted a manual for a SEGA coin-op? Well SEGA is now giving them away for download in PDF/TIFF format if you go to this website. So, if like me you always wanted a poorly-scanned copy of the Daytona USA coin-op manual, SEGA has once again made your dreams come true!” – Simon.
There’s a 96MB technical schematic of the OutRun2 cabinet up there! This is from the OutRun2 SP parts listing manual. Such riches!
Lubrication advice, from the manual for the upright arcade version of Route 66. Simon, you have made what will be remembered as the best SEGA-related discovery of this new decade.
Go on, make it sound REALLY mundane.

That reminds me, I’ve actually got a Naomi 2 system and GD-ROM drive in the garage. I was never able to get it to work as it came without a power supply. Even if I can get to the stage of powering it on, I’ve no idea what sort of controllers I can use.

Bulk Slash: Theres not really any such thing as a ready-made controller for it, outside of plugging it into a compatible cabinet. You’d have to build your own controllers, or hack apart some ready-made ones, and wire them to a JAMMA loom.

JAMMALOOM! The battle cry of the God of Arcades.

Whereas the usual cry of the scrotes in the arcades is ‘GIZZAGOMATE’

Prepare to be jealous:
I have a mint condition Atari Crystal Castles arcade manual in my house that accompanies my Atari Crystal Castles arcade cabinet.
I will let you stew for a while and come back later. ….

If I ever strike it rich I’m going to build my own personal arcade and fill it with all my favourite Sega games. But if I buy a monkey and start inviting young boys over please overdose me with pain killers.
