but you can follow this tutorial with any other version of PSP

Merydesig uses Animation Shop to create her animations
 I use Ulead Gif Animator. If you use UGA I added « SimoneAni 219 » type .psd to the material

Hints & Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as both windows are opened (software and font), your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
image -> mirror   has become  image ->  mirror -> mirror horizontal
image -> flip  has become   image -> mirror -> mirror vertical
