Here is what you are going to need: Please Note: All what you DO, you do it on your own RISK! - Do not send us any emails about "Where I can find ArtTool" or about any "BUG's in CarsetCreator BETA5" - this Tutorial is for those of you, who know, WHAT they ARE doing...
Additionally NOTE, that the Rotating Logos a different from GP3 and GP3 Season 2000. You can/have to modify the Graphics before export them into your GP3 Season 2000 game [if you do not like to have "strange rotating logos"] - To do this save the (from GP3) imported MenuArts to BMP-files and remove the rotating logos from the BMP's - then load the Images back into CarsetCreator Beta 5 and export it into GP3 Season
