End-user help on compiling payloads #8

Open Nazosan opened 1 year ago

While I'm aware there are "universal" solutions, there is also value to having a full payload that can actually function on its own on the chip itself (such as with a failing memory card slot which has happened to me twice before.) It could really be beneficial to be able to update the SwitchMe chip more frequently with at least the really major updates from Hekate after major features change (especially major compatibility changes.) I like to update my SwitchMe with the major updates that make compatibility changes in case of a memory card failure so I can still at least perform a few emergency operations with it, but that hasn't been possible for a long time now. Unfortunately, the last update on here was a year ago for a now quite outdated version.

A really nice long term solution would be if there were some sort of simple script to automate the process of compiling updated payloads for the SwitchMe. If end users can do it themselves then it wouldn't really make much difference how frequently it's updated after all.

Alternately, if there were at least basic instructions for the process in the SwitchMe readme or something it would help enormously. I wasn't able to find any in the past as it seems like people who know how to do it find it intuitive enough they don't think to write it down as nearly as I can tell.
