Branches

main

The main branch contains the source of the latest release of the mod.

dev

The dev branch contains in-development features and usually isn't ported to or tested on regions other than PAL. Settings files generated in builds from this branch may also not be supported in future versions.

Building

To compile this yourself, you'll need the following:

• devkitPPC
• ninja
• Python 3
  • 3.8 is known to work, earlier versions may too
• The python modules from requirements.txt (pip install -r requirements.txt)
• The fork of PistonMiner's elf2rel from the SPM Rel Loader repo
  • For v8 and above, the 21-12-2021 build is required. v5-7 require the 24-6-2021 build. Older versions are compatible with any build
• The ELF2REL environment variable set to the path to your compiled elf2rel executable

Once that's set up:

• Run configure.py
  • Versions can be listed as arguments to enable them, by default all will be enabled
• Run ninja
  • Versions can be listed as arguments to build them (must be enabled in configure.py), by default all will be built
