1) use WinPVR
2) jpeg don't have transparent layer, use png

I used an application called winpvr to make them.

download MSR NTSC-U


Ive modified the entire set of NTSC / US games, plus a few PAL and JP exclusives all using the Extract GDI / copy PVR / rebuild GDI method. I decided to go the route of using Cover art instead of Disc, as a preference.

the last game i cant get working is MSR, and i found this topic. looks like you have the answer!!

Is there any chance at all you could post the process to fix so i could get my copy working? Ive already got the TOSEC dump of MSR and the PVR created, just need to know what needs to be done differently for MSR, as it seems to be copy protection as you said?

thank you so much!

maybe it will be easier for you to download ready-made images?

it is quite difficult to describe the process, first you need to learn how the iso9660 file system works, when you learn this you will not need any instructions, you can easily change any image using the HEX editor, the DD program and the engineering calculator
