This updates the Stock PSC Weston from 1.11.0 to 6.0.0. The Stock Weston uses wl_shell which has long been deprecated. This update adds xdg-shell support which opens the door for newer Apps such as RetroArch 1.22.2 and SDL3 to work. I also noticed it fixed this jitter issue with my Mario Kart 64 PSC port which I plan on releasing soon.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐦:
copy the weston6_enabler folder to usb:/Apps and launch the program from the Autobleem Apps menu. To reach the Apps menu, by pressing Start at the main screen and Select Twice.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐄𝐫𝐢𝐬:
copy the weston6_enabler folder to usb:/project_eris/etc/project_eris/SUP/launchers
and launch the App from the Project Eris carousel.

There are two options to init Weston:

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐑𝐀𝐌: This is 100% safe as it doesn't modify anything internally. The Weston files are launched from RAM. Once you power off it returns to stock. You will have to enable it each time you boot up.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥: This installs it permanently to the rootfs1 partition. It remains there even when you power off. The stock weston files will be renamed with a _bk suffix (ie weston_bk) and then it'll will extract the weston6.tar.gz package into the rootfs1 /usr directory. The weston 6 install files are about 4.92 MB in size.

*𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠* Although I've tested it extensively, modifying the internal contents always carries a risk of bricking. You never know if there could be a power outrage. Be careful and proceed with caution. I've added a md5 checksum to the weston6.tar.gz file so just in case the file gets corrupted or changed it won't install.

Weston 6.0.0 Enabler was made with RPG Maker VX Ace
