I'm using matlab 32-bit. For Imagemagick, the command I used was "montage -adjoin -mode Concatenate -tile 3072x2304 (list all the images that will make up the mosaic) montage". But the list got too long for the command window, so I couldn't paste it in one chunk. Thinking about it now, maybe I could write a .bat-file for the script? I think I will give ImageMagick another try. :)
Try using xargs, you ran into a limitation of your shell, rather than a limitation of ImageMagick

Good news - I got it to work with ImageMagick, and can now make mosaics with much better screenshot resolution. I'm now using screenshots with resolution 72*54 (any bigger and ImageMagick works, but takes way too long). Unfortunately, the mosaics are now too big to upload to imageshack, so I'll be uploading them zipped to mediafire from now. Here's Ninja Five-O: http://www.mediafire.com/?az45rku6qj2yv71

In an interesting bit of recursion, the Ninja Five-O screenshot is being used to form the bulk of the background of the mosaic. :)

Here's Sonic Advance 2 (also high resolution, zipped and uploaded to mediafire): http://www.mediafire.com/?1df2lhi0vys0pa2 A total of 350 different screenshots were used for this mosaic. If you have an afternoon to kill, you can entertain yourself with finding them all (or at least, say, the ten most used screenshots).
