Build from sources

If you want to try it you'll need to manually prepare some files in addition to copying the ovl.

From a Shimeji-ee mascot's actions.xml and behaviors.xml files, you'll need to create a mascot.cereal file using shijima-sandbox. (shijima-sandbox is an example program that is built alongside the library itself when you compile libshijima.)
You'll also need to create an img.bin file using the tesla-packer tool on the Shijima-NX repository.

Once you have both img.bin and mascot.cereal, copy them to sd:/config/Shijima-NX/.
