I just bought a Puchi Carat manual on eBay since it came with the installation art that I wanted anyway.

I'm not sure how complete your collection is but here are a few other F3 listings for manuals that aren't yet scanned:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-TAITO-...420311?hash=item5d6f8c3d97:g:dH4AAOSwAANY5JEu
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-TAITO-...184213?hash=item5d703fbe55:g:aZsAAOSw5UZZAMuL

I was tempted to buy the Space Invaders DX one because I would like some SI art but I really can't stand when they use the marquee area for instruction space.
 
Bah, I was just about to offer up my Puchi Carat manual for scanning when I saw this thread pop up. You beat me to it :(.
 
I'm sure rtw will make a thorough list when he's able to sort through stuff, but based off an old list I had in some messages, I at least have manuals for these:

Akkanvader JP
Arkanoid Returns JP
Bubble Memories JP
Bubble Symphony JP
Gekirindan JP
HatTrick Hero '95 JP
Kaiser Knuckle JP
Kirameki Star Road JP
Kyukoku Tiger II JP
Light Bringer JP
Pop 'n Pop JP & ASIA
Puchi Carrot JP
Puzzle Bobble 2 JP & Bust-A-Move Again US
Puzzle Bobble 3 JP
Puzzle Bobble 4 JP & US
Quiz Theater JP
Ray Force JP
Space Invaders DX JP
Taito F3 Cart System JP & US

I have art for many of those, but not all. I also have some art for games I do not have manuals for.

Any chance you can snap a photo of the pages with pinout information. mine is probably a month out and that info would be useful to have.

I can scan it later if anyone needs it.

So I am trying to figure out how to set freeplay on my Taito F3 Bust A Move Again. I read the manual and looked through all the settings in the configuration menu but I can't seem to get it to go into freeplay.

I dont believe it has freeplay mode.
