Game Covers

ArcStation uses a custom binary file named arcstation_covers.bin to store cover images. This file must be placed in the /arcstation folder on your SD card.

We do not provide or host cover images because they may be subject to copyright in some countries. Use the Covers File Builder below to create the binary file from your own cover images.

The generated file contains all cover images you provide. You can therefore include covers for games that are not currently on your SD card. If you add one of those games later, you do not need to rebuild the covers file — simply rescan your game library from the ArcStation menu.

Covers File Builder

Select a folder containing your cover images. Each filename must begin with the game’s PlayStation serial number, for example:

SLES-01314.jpg
SLPS02020.png

Note

This tool does not upload any files to the ArcStation server. All images are processed locally on your computer.

After downloading arcstation_covers.bin, copy it to the /arcstation folder on your SD card.
