Now you have all this : https://i.imgur.com/9wx8rvM.png
Run create_pvr.exe or type the command yourself from command.txt, its all the same.
 
Before you do. Check to see if the alpha.bmp lines up well with your created image, the outside should be perfect AS-IS but the inner circle may change depending on your source image, or if you even want your image to hole or not.
 
rename disc.pvr to 0GDTEX.PVR
 
Then use that file from the video above. good luck

I love y'all but setting up my capture setup just isnt worth it for a single screen cap. It will work just as well in the menu though, i promise.
