In my last Initial D related post, a fellow by the name of Skip Jenkins left a comment requesting help in finding a digital copy of the Instruction Manual for the PSP game Initial D: Street Stage with the english translations. At the time I did not have a lot of free time to scan the manual I had which was what he was looking for. However, thanks to shortstat, I’ve surprisingly found out that a lot of people stumble onto my site by googling: initial d street stage english manual or something else to that effect. Last night I was able to put aside a few minutes and take photos of the manual and compile them into a 6 mb PDF because even I had troubles locating a copy of this on the net.

So for those of you who have the Japanese version that did not come with the English manual, here it is.

Street Stage (Asia) Manual Download

If you want to show your thanks, “thank you” comments are appreciated :)
Feel free to also post a link to this site in forums if you see that other people are looking for this manual.

Fantastic! Thank you so much! If there is anything I can do for you in return, never hesitate to let me know. By the way, fantastic blog, I’m definately a reader and I’m going to throw a link up on my show’s site.

Cheers!

When I clicked on that link, I got a blank page. Do you still have this scan somewhere? I just got this game and I could use some help.

i just downloaded the english manuel. how do i open it?

Comment by peter — September 21, 2007 @ 3:11 pm

Peter: any PDF viewer should be able to open it. One of which is Adobe Reader.

Comment by Sam Lu — September 21, 2007 @ 5:28 pm

Thank you. Appreciate your kind gesture

Comment by tim — November 13, 2007 @ 1:04 pm

Thank you very much! Are you into Wangan Midnight too?

Comment by Mirakulist — November 15, 2007 @ 4:38 am

You’re welcome guys.

I did use to play Wangan Midnight at the arcade during breaks when I could, but not anymore. Guitar Hero is the game for me right now.

Comment by Sam Lu — November 15, 2007 @ 10:23 am

how do i get this manual

Comment by randi — November 19, 2007 @ 7:11 pm

randi, you get this manual with the Asian version of the game. The Japanese version does include a manual, but not written in English.

Comment by Sam Lu — November 20, 2007 @ 2:46 am

zomg thanks you

Comment by tekno — December 22, 2007 @ 2:14 am

Thank you guys so much! We here at Tachometer appreciate the kind gesture of a digital copy! Now those of us with the Japanese copy and no knowledge of the Japanese language can make use of this game!

You’re the best!

Comment by Jeremy — December 27, 2007 @ 12:18 pm

says the file is damaged.

Comment by Jeremy — December 27, 2007 @ 12:20 pm

Jeremy, you might want to try downloading the file first before viewing it. It’s a hefty PDF at close to 6mb so trying to open it on the spot might be causing the issue.

I downloaded it just now and was able to view it just fine.

Comment by Sam Lu — December 27, 2007 @ 12:40 pm

Thanks for uploading this pdf man, it really helps for Initial D and overall drifting fans with this game. Karma+ Fer Shur :D!

Comment by Moncristo — January 28, 2008 @ 9:03 am

Comment by Tim — March 20, 2008 @ 11:40 pm

ok nvm i got it… thanks a lot

Comment by Tim — March 20, 2008 @ 11:53 pm

ok last thing…. i cant read it.. when i zoom in, it gets unclear. please tell me how.. thanks

Comment by Tim — March 20, 2008 @ 11:57 pm

I tried to take the best pictures I could with my camera so you’ll have to make do with the quality. It probably would have been better if I scanned these but I didn’t have a scanner.

Comment by Sam Lu — March 21, 2008 @ 5:55 am
