List of foldout manuals printed for Disk Writer games

quick question, do the disk writer games differ from games that need say, a game doctor? what is the difference if not, and what is the difference between disk writer games and games that were sold otherwise?

[nintendodork]

Yes.  Disk Writer games were games that could be written to blank Nintendo brand disks through Nintendo's "Disk Writer" service in Japan.  Get a blank Nintendo disk (or a disk you already have), pay 600 yen, put the disk in, select the game, and voila.

Game Doctor disks are pirated disks that need a Game Doctor to bypass the system's security (I think).

[JC]

Close enough, nintendodork, but I think the copy price using a DW was 500 yen.

[RGB_Gamer]

JC,

any idea how pirated game doctor disks were made?

[JC]

The pirate disk market seems to have been biggest in Hong Kong. Beyond that, I have no clue how or why they came to be and came to use a passthrough device.

[RGB_Gamer]

I have seen some pirate games for run on a game doctor that take up 2 disks. I think they were converted from cartridge somehow. Were there any official FDS disks that used 2?

[P]

Zelda 2 seems to have a foldout http://cgi.ebay.com/Famicom-Disk-System-Legend-Zelda-2-INSTRUCTION-/110501285803?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ba63cfab
I don't know if this is enough to confirm it though as I don't have it or anything.
Edit: I have a copy of it now, so I can confirm it.

Also Famicom Tantei Club is listed once too many.
