PS3 Game covers in Multiman

[Mario95BG]

Hello,

First sorry if this thread is not in the right place.

I want to have game covers in Multiman, in HD quality, manually downloaded and copied by me from a flash drive. I copied them in the cover's folder in Multiman through the file manager on the PS3 and named them the just like the game is named (for example BLUS/BLES 02841 or whatever) and they don't work.

Other thing that I saw was that other covers that worked (probably downloaded by Multiman itself) were with size of between 15 and 30kb, but the ones that I downloaded and copied in HD were between 300 and 700kb.

Can someone please help me with this ? Thanks.

The size in KB does not give much information, due the image file is uncompressed in memory.

The most relevant information is the dimension of the image (height x width). That value multiplied by 4 (RGBA) gives you the actual memory consumed.

For background images, the maximum allocated memory is 8294400 bytes (1080 x 1920 x 4).

The thubnails should not exceed 414 x 416 x 4 = 688,896 bytes. Larger images are downscaled and will consume memory in excess.
Some covers are displayed at 96 x 96 x 4, 480 x 270 x 4 or 320 x 320 x 4. The image is centered according to the proportions.

multiMAN supports images in PNG and JPG. It's recommended that the width and height are multiple of 4 for proper scaling.

One of the covers I copied is under 300kb and it's 950x1080 and it's not working ..

Another question, I remember some years ago when I used multiman it had option to auto download cover for every game on the HDD.
Now it is not auto downloading them .. How can I fix it ?

950x1080x4 = 4,104,000 > 688,896 bytes. You must resize your images.
