For better performance and fast loading I suggest that you all use the internal HDD for roms and covers:
/dev_hdd0/ROMS/****
Loading from internal takes ~3 seconds for 1024 roms, compared to 10 times more from USB (30 seconds).
AWESOME! thank you for this Dean, appreciated! :DQuote:

Contents:
Latest from squarepusher2 repo, compiled by me:
* 20110603-233800-VBA [VBAM90000] [multiMAN].pkg (GameBoy/Advanced)
* 20110602-161300-SNES9X [SNES90000] [multiMAN].pkg
* 20110602-161200-GENESIS-PLUS [GENP00001] [multiMAN].pkg
* 20110602-161700-FCEU [FCEU90000] [multiMAN].pkg
Say THANKS and THANKS to squarepusher2 for his hard work on these four emulators, and not only to make them work with multiMAN, but to improve and bring them up to what they are!

* multiMAN ver 2.00.03 UPDATE (20110603_201000)
If you're on any previous version - I suggest that you update to the latest multiMAN.

* Added: Threaded processing in background for downloading covers (no more GUI interruptions)
* Added: XMMB mode will invoke download of missing covers, too
* Changed: Non-blockable scanning in XMMB when device is connected/disconnected
* Added: Support for Genesis+ GX retro emulator (port by squarepusher2)
* Added: Support for FCEUltra (NES/ULTRA) PS3 retro emulator (port by squarepusher2)
* Added: Support for VBA PS3 retro emulator (GameBoy/GameBoy Advanced)
* Improved: XMMB Photo column display and navigation (no more image buffers release when full - a lot seamless now)
* Added: Support for PNG covers for Retro column (408x408 max resolution) (408x180 for best results)
* Added: L2+R2 will turn on screensaver mode
* Added: Caching of the whole XMMB mode
* Improved: Navigation in XMMB is completely rewritten - now smooth and faster than original PS3 XMB
* Added: Rotating "refresh" icons will now show while loading content in XMMB (picture/video/game/fave/retro columns) - like in the real PS3 XMB :)
If you think you liked XMMB mode you will be surprised. In this update, XMMB mode in multiMAN is faster than the real PS3 XMB. Scrolling left/right and up/down is by far better than any previous release. Names of column entries are now aligned in some columns.
Some test results:
* Loading 1024 roms from internal HDD in Retro column = 3 seconds
* Loading 1024 roms from external USB HDD in Retro column = ~30 seconds
Without any exaggeration: just check it - you'll love it.

Hi Squarepusher 2
I have a small problem with covers. Multiman says that it can load covers form the same location as the rom is in. Which sound about right, I would have liked to have seen game/emulator/USRDIR/covers/ but with the roms works for me also. But the emulators show the png's as well as the roms. So maybe a filter for png and jpg. Or something. Thanks.
These look amazing. Btw, here's the thread for cover discussions: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f192/ret...6/index11.html The people in there would love to see this stuff. I hope you have those for all of the games, cause I'd probably use them, but we can talk about that in the other thread.Quote:

BLES80608 = Multiman
My bad, I'll start posting findings over there.Quote:
