In-Game Manuals for HDD games/apps[edit | edit source]

The manual appears with a «question mark» icon named «Software Manual» and the title_id of the game/app in small font under it, in column inside XMB In-Game mode by pressing button

Manuals can be used as a guide, changelog, readme, extra artwork, etc… and are loaded without having to quit the hdd app/game.

PS3 Games[edit | edit source]

Implemented around 4.00 firmware (not working on 3.55, working on 4.21+)

• Buttons

The zoom has 2 working modes, that depends of the aspect ratio of the image, there are not intermediate zoom levels, and the bigger zoom is predefined to around 50% bigger of the «full screen» mode:

• For 16:9 images
  • Image is displayed initially at «full screen»
  • When pressing image is zoomed-in around 50% bigger
• For non 16:9 images

• Only for PS3 type, HDD Installed Contents
• Is not supported inside PS3 game disc structure… but is supported in the «GameData» installations made by PS3 disc games and by his game updates/patches
• To add multiple manuals for different languages use the subfolders 02 (for french manual), 03 (for spanish manual), etc…, the numbers follows the system Language codes
• Up to 999.DDS pages ? (speculative, because the image names uses 3 digits, e,g: 123.DDS but max not tested)

Image Formats[edit | edit source]

• The .DDS original format (found in NPUA80543) is DXT1C (dxt1, only color), without mipmaps. See: Multimedia Formats and Tools
• The resolutions (width x height) needs to have a number of pixels that is a multiple of 4 (both width and height sizes needs to be multiple of 4). DDS tools cant make a direct conversion of images that are not multiple of 4 (error: Image is not a multiple of 4 and no rescaling specified), and by using rescaling is not posible to create DDS images with sizes that are not multiple of 4 (error: [Rescaling] [Processing] returned error IMAGE_NOT_MULT4)

• Most useful resolutions (because all modern TV’s and PS3 are designed for it) are all that matches 16:9 aspect ratio, you can see a list of the most common here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9#Common_resolutions
  • Supported 16:9 resolutions: 640×360, 960×540, 1024×576, 1280×720, 1600×900, 1920×1080 (found in NPUA80543), 2048×1152, 2560×1440
  • NOT supported 16:9 resolutions (not multiple of 4): 864×486 (486 is not multiple of 4), 1366×768 (1366 is not multiple of 4)
  • NOT supported 16:9 resolutions (too big in bytes ?): 2880×1620 (2,22 MB per page), 3200×1800 (2,74 MB per page), 3840×2160 for 4K UHD TV (3,95 MB per page)

• Other resolutions (not 16:9)
  • Supported: 1280×1024

• Pixelation notes:

Overall, and based on how the pages will be displayed with or without zoom… there are basically 2 types of manuals

The most common is the classic «user manual» from any device, where are used texts with long sentences, a few icons, and some small images overlayed to explain the working or the controlls of the device/program/game/whatever

In this kind of manual, the pages are supposed to be readed at «full screen», so is needed to use a font with good size, this makes pointless to use the zoom function (well, most users will zoom for science purposes, but they will realize is pointless because zooming in a sentence is stupid if you can read it without zoom)

For this manuals is good to go to the small resolution sizes (like 1024×576 or smaller with 288 KB per page) because there is a small pixelation but is only notable when zoomed in… and well… user is not supposed to zoom in more than 1 time (the first time for science), this manuals are good for homebrew where the manual doesnt needs to be bigger than the homebrew app itself (a manual of 30 MB for a homebrew with size 5 MB looks excesive)

The other type of manual is where it contains maps of the game with the location of items, places, or any kind of image with big detail that is interesting to display it in the bigger size posible (here the user is supposed to zoom in allways in every page)

For this ones is good to go for the bigger resolution sizes like 2560×1440 (and 1,75 MB per page) because usually there are not much pages and are for games wich size is much bigger than the manual (a manual of 100 MB for a game with size 10GB doesnt looks excesive)

PS3 DigiManual[edit | edit source]

Named as Digimanual or Manual (Digital), they are stand alone pkg PS3 hdd games included in disc (PKGDIR for example) or available online.

Seems to be a standard utility (the eboot) specific to display this kind of manuals, so should be considered an app, not a feature of the firmware
