  • Video Overview from Super Retrocade
  1. Making a better quality PVR Image using photoshop
    • Note: using the way discussed in the video will give decent to find results but this gives you better control
  1. Find and image and get it in photoshop : [1]
  2. Resize to 256x256 : [2]
  3. Split channels: what you should get [https://i.imgur.com/x9ZMnu4.png
  4. Press Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S or Save for Web (Legacy): [3]
    • For each channel, but should do it for all just doing it once.

Merge Back : https://i.imgur.com/eONt6Rq.png Change to RGB, 3 Channel : https://i.imgur.com/SMerMQr.png Make sure this looks correct and not stupid: https://i.imgur.com/33Y41kp.png Back in business! : https://i.imgur.com/igEDUVn.png Save as BMP : https://i.imgur.com/83XHN7K.png Normal, dont go crazy : https://i.imgur.com/1MGbZI2.png 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

Result: https://i.imgur.com/D0ukg7L.png 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.


edit: forgot to post the file with the tool and BMPs https://www.mediafire.com/file/lmwoe1h362e6p52/Image_-_Copy.rar/file
